Wonderful night at Anfield

Liverpool vs Arsenal is the menu tonight. WHAT A GAME.....this is what I can say.Worth every single minute to stay up and watch the game. It is a night where Andrey Arshavin scored an awesome foursome at Anfield but Liverpool fought back to snatch a draw in a pulsating encounter.

Arshavin the man.

Yes, it is a night full of goals (7 goals in the 2nd half) and the goals are quite intresting but it is also a night full of mistakes. 8 goals scored and 8 mistakes made. This is what make the game so intresting. This is a night which Liverpool needed a win to compete the title with Man Utd. The game was played at a high tempo from the start. With the Kop roaring their team on, it is a very tough away game for the Gunners. It was almost all Liverpool from the start with Arsenal rarely threatening the goal. But Arshavin, Arsenal's latest signing manage to make the best out of all the chances he had. Scoring an awesome 4 goals. It is a feat where not many players manage to do at an away game especially Anfield. Although Arsenal cant hold on to the lead and let Liverpool draw level during stoppage time, I didnt feel really disappointed with the outcome. Maybe Arshavin scored 4? or Arsenal didnt play their best and made the game so intresting?

I really got no idea. After the game, I saw the statistic.  Liverpool got 26 shots with 14 on target compare to Arsenal's 8 on goal with 4 on target. And Arsenal got ZERO corner. OMG! Arsenal was  dominated by Liverpool for almost the whole game and Reina, Liverpool's keeper did not even make a real save in the game. At the end of the day, if you ask me did Arsenal deserve to lose, I will tell you no and neither do Liverpool. Because both sides doesnt deserve to lose this game. All in all, it was a great game by both teams.
