Liverpool vs Arsenal

1. 92'

   And the referee immediately blows up for full time with Arsenal not even having time to hit back. A great result for Rafa Benitez and Liverpool, but for Arsenal, they now trail league leaders Chelsea by five points. FULL TIME.

2. 92'

   GOAL! Liverpool have won the match with the last kick of the game and it is a sensational, long-range effort from much-malingned front man Mellor, who has sent a half-volley crashing into the far corner of Lehmann's net from fully 35 yards out, quite incredible.

3. 91'

   Liverpool will probably be the more disappointed of the two teams not have won, but with their injury problems, a draw is not the worst result in the world.

4. 90'

   It is hard to pick out a man of the match this afternoon, but Gerrard has had a storming game, covering almost every blade of grass throughout this match.

5. 89'

   The fourth official has indicated that there will be two minutes of time to be added on at the end of the game.

6. 88'

   With two minutes to go, all eyes are on the fourth official and how much time there will be added on at the end of this second period.

7. 87'

   Arsenal break upfield, but Hamann does well to backtrack and win the ball from the ever-dangerous Henry and clear his lines.

8. 86'

   Hamann breaks up an Arsenal attack and tries to go himself through the Arsenal midfield, but the visitors win back the ball and start another break, only for van Persie to overhit his through ball to Henry.

9. 85'

   This match now looks like ending in a draw with five minutes to go plus injury time.

10. 84'

    And equally amazing is the stat that Liverpool have not got one over on the Gunners since the 2001 FA Cup final.

11. 83'

    Amazingly, Vieira has never won at Anfield during his time in England, and it looks like that record will be extended today.

12. 82'

    Arsenal almost score a second brilliant team goal through Henry after a swift exchange of passes between Pires and van Persie, but the ball just wont't sit down for the Frenchman and Hyppia clears the ball.

13. 81'

    Just a few free kicks are disrupting the flow of the match at the moment, as van Persie brings down Alonso on halfway.

14. 80'

    Henry loses possession close to the Liverpool box to Alonso and in his disappointment, he rashly tackles the Spain international and is booked for his troubles.

15. 79'

    Henry attempts an outrageous shot from the halfway line with Kirkland off his line and it floats only just off target.

16. 78'

    Kewell has a chance to put in a dangerous left-wing centre, but not for the first time this afternoon, his delivery is poor and Lehmann claims.

17. 77'

    One gets the feeling that there is still another goal left is this match.

18. 76'

    Liverpool almost retake the lead through their inspirational skipper Gerrard after good closing down by first Mellor and then Nunez, but when the ball breaks to the England man, Lehmann does well to parry his rasping drive from the edge of the box.

19. 75'

    Arsenal are looking remarkably fit considering they had a day less to recover than Liverpool and had to play with nine men against PSV on Wednesday.

20. 74'

    The game is now end to end, with both sides looking for the three points.

21. 73'

    Gerrard, from the left, plays a short corner with Kewell, but it comes to nothing and Arsenal clear their lines.

22. 72'

    Now Gerrard goes on a mazy run into the Arsenal box, twisting and turning his way past three men, but his cross is blocked by Vieira for a corner.

23. 71'

    A great, curling centre from Gerrard tests the defensive capabilities of Toure to the full, but the defender does well to intercept with Mellor lurking right behind.

24. 70'

    Vieira is very lucky to still be on the pitch, as after winning his side back possession, he blatantly takes a dive, which the referee sees, but decides not to take any action.

25. 69'

    Mellor has done well to win his side a pressure-relieving free kick.
