Are Arsenal's title dreams over? After tying Liverpool 1-1 the Gunners are 5 points behind EPL leading club Manchester United and tied on points with Chelsea. The Reds opened the scoring in the 41st minute when Peter Crouch took a low shot outside the 18 yard box guiding it past Manuel Almunia. But, the Gunners struck back when Nicklas Bendtner headed a ball past Pepe Reina when Cesc Fabregas sent a perfect ball in right to Bendtner head. Both the Reds and Gunners had many more chances including when Andrly Voronin had a wide open shot but curled over the bar with the outside of his right foot. At full time Liverpool were happy with a point to steer 6 points ahead of Everton for 4th place and a spot to qualify for The Champions League. Steven Gerrard came on in the second half because of Rafa Benitez trying to rest most of his first team squad for their next meeting against Arsenal in the the second leg of there Champions League quarterfinal battle. Emmanuel Adebayor also came in for Armand Traore in the second half to try and get the Gunners 3 points instead of 1. All around a good game for the Reds but a real crusher for Arsenal.
