Arsenal vs Liverpool

1. 94'

   That's that! An entertaining game that never really sprang to life. Plenty of action though, and a rather harsh sending off to boot. Liverpool stay top but Chelsea will depose them if they beat Everton. Arsenal remain eight points behind, and it remains an uphill battle for them. Thanks for your company.

2. 93'

   What a terrible kick from Almunia. Gallas went forward as they won a free-kick but the keeper smashed it out of play near the corner flag.

3. 92'

   Clichy crosses and van Persie heads but its easy for Reina. Eboo-ue got a big cheer when he came on.

4. 92'

   Ebooooo-ue is on for Nasri, who has had an excellent game.

5. 91'

   Three added minutes....

6. 90'

   El Zahr nods just wide! Insua crosses, the winger glances a header and it falls just wide of the post!

7. 89'

   Arsenal hump a free-kick long and it goes straight out for a Liverpool goal kick.

8. 88'

   And now, in the 88th minute, Liverpool go 4-4-2.

9. 87'

   A poor ball from Diaby gifts possession back to Liverpool, who are bringing Ngog on for the ineffectual Lucas.

10. 86'

    Agger pushes forward and unleashes a superb shot that swings just wide of the upright. Superb effort.

11. 85'

    Why not make a statement of intent Liverpool and go and try and win the game eh? Put yourselves clear at the top? No? Instead you sit back with nine behind the ball against Arsenal's ten men.

12. 84'

    El Zahr slides in a ball looking for Kuyt but Almunia comes out and gets just enough on it to clear.

13. 83'

    Van Persie's inswinger is deep and although Reina looked far from convincing no-one was there to profit from it for Arsenal.

14. 82'

    Agger fluffs two headers under no pressure and gives away a corner. Go on Arsenal, score!!

15. 81'

    Changes. Keane off, El Zahr on. Ebooooooo-ue warming up too.

16. 80'

    Babel whips in a cross but Almunia claims. Then Lucas brings down Diaby and gets a booking.

17. 79'

    Nasri goes on another mazy run ending in a swerving shot. Well wide though.

18. 78'

    Liverpool have nine men behind the ball as Arsenal stroke it around. Why oh why oh why?

19. 77'

    Nasri tries to dribble through, gets forced wide by Carragher then megs him and goes down. No free kick though.

20. 76'

    Needless to say, van Persie is now ploughing a lone furrow up front...

21. 75'

    A chorus of boos now ring out as Liverpool enjoy some possession. The sending off has at least provoked Arsenal's fans into creating a bit of atmosphere.

22. 74'

    Gerrard aims some abuse at Webb as he runs at Gallas and falls over. Not much in that TBH.

23. 73'

    Arsenal have managed to impose themselves more since the sending off than before it. Strange old game innit?

24. 72'

    Diaby finds van Persie who turns and shoots but a deflection off Carragher helps Reina gather.

25. 71'

    Carragher is going to get booked now for holding back van Persie.
