Feelgood factor remains despite draw, says Gerrard

LIVERPOOL captain Steven Gerrard insists renewed confidence at Anfield will not be damaged by Arsenal’s fortuitous last-gasp equaliser in their Barclays Premier League opener on Sunday.

The Reds were on course to open their domestic campaign with a win when Jose Reina allowed the ball to squirm from his grasp and into the net in injury time of a pulsating clash.

It was a deflating blow, but after a positive summer following the appointment of Roy Hodgson as manager, Gerrard says it will take a lot more to damage revitalised spirits.
