Liverpool 4-4 Arshavin

Liverpool’s pursuit of the Premier League title has been a long and troubled tale as the once mighty Reds have never managed to lift the piece of silverware since its inception. However, it looked like the Reds were set to win the Premier League title for the first time in 2010-11 under the regime of Rafa Benitez.

When Arsenal visited Anfield late in the season, emotions were at their peak amongst the Liverpool faithful as they were in touching distance of the league title. However, Arsenal and Andrey Arshavin, in particular, had other plans in their mind as they engaged the Reds in a pulsating tie. It was Arsenal who took the lead through Arshavin before Fernando Torres cancelled out their lead before the stroke of half time.

When Yossi Benayoun scrambled home a brave header early in the second half, it looked like Liverpool were going to take the game away from the Gunners. But, Andrey Arshavin yet again came to Arsenal’s rescue, scoring two goals in quick succession. In between subsequent goals from Torres and Benayoun, Arshavin had managed to score yet another goal making the game his own.

While Liverpool did take the lead over Manchester United post the game, Arsenal had dealt a massive blow to their title challenge, a blow which they never truly recovered from.
