Liverpool has further cemented its place at the top of the Premier League when it managed to achieve a 1-1 draw with Arsenal, who played with 10 men for the better part of the match. Its cause is also helped by Manchester City’s embarrassing 2-1 defeat at the hands of last placed West Bromwich Albion.

It is however, arsenal who drew first blood with Robin van Persie firing home the first goal of the match on the 24th minute. Showing great skills he collected the ball on his chest and dribbled past two defenders to score with a powerful shot.

The celebration didn’t last long for Arsenal though as Robbie Keane, who returned to the eleven after lying on the sidelines for a long time due to poor form, scored the equaliser on the 42 minute from a long pass from Daniel Agger, and outpacing several Arsenal defenders in the process.

The score line could have been more impressive if the Reds had managed to hold onto the chances that were created. They also failed to push forward their one man advantage, when Gunners striker Emmanuel Adebayor was sent off after being shown the yellow card.

The sent off, however, was a bitter pill to swallow for Arsene Wenger, the Arsenal manager, as he was left fuming. He said that the team stood a good chance of winning the match if they hadn’t been penalised. He also said that the decision was a wrong one and was unjust. Even so, we know everyone in their Adidas Liverpool Away Shirt was happy with the decision, as their club stays atop of the leader board in an impressive fashion.
