And of course, an English team will be in the final now. Good news! Thanks for your company...

'You'll Never Walk Alone' gets another airing as the Kop belt out their relief after an astonishing game. To seesaw so hugely, and so quickly, only magnifies the agony for Arsenal and the elation for Liverpool.
- 93'
Arsenal look shellshocked. With just six minutes to go it looked as if they had done it but then Toure is a bit clumsy on Babel, the ref points to the spot and the game is gone. Full time! It's Liverpool v Chelsea in the Champions League semi-final again! What a game!
- 92'
As Arsenal pushed up for a Fabregas free kick they left only the Spaniard back and Babel beat him to Kuyt's clearance and finished cooly past Almunia. An excellent finish.
- 92'
GOAL! Babel settles it!
- 92'
Arsenal goal kick and Almunia prepares to lump it long.
- 91'
Liverpool are playing keep ball now. Arsenal are frantic.
- 91'
Three added minutes at Anfield.
- 90'
Kuyt does well to hold the ball up, as an Arsenal move broke down. All the talk will be about that penalty award. It did look very soft.
- 90'
We're into the last minute.
- 89'
Riise has come on specifically to double up on the electric Walcott it looks like.
- 88'
Wenger looks like he's about to have a heart attack! He'll be fuming if they don't go through.
- 88'
Chelsea are through and a Liverpool semi-final is moments away from them. Oh no, not again!
- 88'
Torres is coming off and John Arne Riise is coming on. The message is clear; shut up shop.
- 87'
So, it is as you were five minutes ago. Arsenal need to score again, Liverpool must not conede. Breathless stuff!
- 86'
A perfect penalty! Top corner and it is advantage Liverpool again! Incredible. What a pen.
- 86'
GOAL! Gerrard scores!
- 86'
Toure gets a yellow for giving away a very soft penalty. What is going on!
- 85'
Now Liverpool have a penalty! Toure has brought down Babel.
- 84'
Theo Walcott beat about five men in that run before squaring for Adebayor to make amends for his horror miss of ten minutes ago. An unbelievable impact from the teenager!
- 84'
GOAL! Adebayor! What a goal!
- 83'
There is space everywhere for Liverpool now as Arsenal chase the game. A last ditch tackle denies Mascherano a shooting chance though.
- 82'
Kuyt does well to work an opening for Gerrard but his curler from distance arcs wide.
- 81'
This time Almunia catches well, before chucking one straight out of play and an increasingly desperate Arsene Wenger can see his season falling apart unless they pot one quick smart.
- 80'
Almunia gets a hand to it but it'll be another Liverpool corner on the opposite side this time.
