Arsenal’s Premier League title challenge suffered an astonishing setback as they exchanged stoppage-time penalties with Liverpool in a 1-1 draw.
Robin van Persie looked to have given Arsenal a last-gasp win when he converted a spot-kick in the eighth minute of added time.
But Emmanuel Eboue’s shove on Lucas Leiva allowed Dirk Kuyt to equalise with the last kick of the game 12 minutes into stoppage time.
It was a truly extraordinary climax to a second half in which an injury to Jamie Carragher led to a long stoppage, and leaves the Gunners six points behind Manchester United with the same number of matches remaining.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger exchanged angry words with his opposite number Kenny Dalglish at the end, before turning his ire on referee Andre Marriner.
