Arsenal remain in driving seat

Arsenal 1 Liverpool 1

Having struck the goal which revived his side's flagging fortunes last season at Old Trafford, Danny Murphy had earlier seemingly repeated the feat at a time of even greater need. The midfielder's 70th-minute penalty, following a foul by Sol Campbell on Milan Baros, put Liverpool ahead with 20 minutes left.

The Anfield club were seemingly on the verge of ending their worst league run for almost 50 years.
