Reds hold Gunners in late drama

17 April 2011 20:00
Arsenal saw their Barclays Premier League title hopes all but extinguished in a dramatic 1-1 draw with Liverpool. Dirk Kuyt secured a point for the Reds with a penalty after 10 minutes of injury time - just moments after Robin van Persie's own spot-kick had looked enough for victory. The Gunners are now six point points behind leaders Manchester United having played the same amount of games. They had plenty of possession and hit the bar in the first half through Laurent Koscielny, but were unable to make their dominance count until deep into stoppage time when Van Persie crashed home a spot-kick for Jay Spearing's foul on Cesc Fabregas. However, Liverpool - who had earlier seen captain Jamie Carragher carried off with concussion - snatched a point with the final kick of the match after Emmanuel Eboue had pushed Lucas.
