ARSENAL 1 - 1 LIVERPOOL

Arsenal were once again left frustrated by Liverpool at the Emirates as a 1-1 draw dealt a near-fatal blow to their fading Barclays Premier League title hopes.

Just three days after their European tie ended all square, both teams were back to do battle for league points.

Each manager made several changes, no doubt with one eye on next week's second leg of their Champions League quarter-final, but there was still more than enough talent on display to make for an entertaining encounter.

Recalled striker Peter Crouch gave Liverpool the lead at the end of the first half, drilling the ball in at the near post.

But Nicklas Bendtner levelled in the 53rd minute with a powerful header to deny the Merseysiders the points..
