Arsenal’s amazing run of form may cost
Russian playmaker Andrey Arshavin scored all four of Arsenal’s goals in a nail bitting encounter and look to have secured a vistory with just minute to play for but there was still plenty of time for Yossi Benayoun to snatch a point for Liverpool and send them on top of the table on goal difference with Man Utd playing on Wednesday.
Early stages of the game
After half time, Liverpool deservely got their rewards for their early possessions with Fernando Torress levelled with the power full header from Dirk Kuyt’s cross and then Yossi Benayoun put Liverpool 2-1 ahead minutes later. Arshavin scored his second in 67 minutes after dispossessing Arbeloa and the Russian got third of the evening to silence the Anfield crowd.
Liverpool responded again and made it 3-3 thanks to a clinical finish from Torres 18 minutes from time, but the drama was far from over as Arshavin's fourth was cancelled out by Benayoun.
