Premiership, Wednesday January 29

Emile Heskey was the unlikely toast of Manchester as his last-gasp goal prevented Arsenal pulling eight points clear at the top of the table.
The much-maligned England man headed home seconds from the end to prevent the champions putting even greater daylight between themselves and United on a pulsating night in front of the Sky Sports cameras.
Arsenal had led twice through Robert Pires and Dennis Bergkamp, only for a rocket from Jon Arne Riise in between and a rousing second-half performance to at last give Gerard Houllier and Anfield something to smile about.
The fact that it will have been cheered louder by their Lancashire adversaries will matter little to Heskey, who again proved his worth up front after coming into one of the Premiership's titanic encounters insisting that his side were still in title contention.
They are still 14 points behind Arsenal and will now look to the Champions League as a consolation, while the Gunners were left pointing to the officials as another draw between the two ended daubed in controversy.
Pires: simple opener
Last time it was Francis Jeffers' dramatic fall, this time it was a linesman's flag. With seconds of normal time remaining, Milan Baros and Oleg Luzhny slid for possession down the left and both appeared to make contact as it crossed the line.
The flag went up for a corner, Arsenal failed to clear convincingly and as Salif Diao whipped the ball back in from the right, Sky Sports man of the match Heskey rose to hammer a header back across David Seaman for his first Premiership goal in front of the Liverpool public this season.
Arsene Wenger, as his occasional wont, went straight to referee at the final whistle,when he really should have questioned his defenders as to why the most obvious aerial target was left unattended.
The Frenchman will also wonder why his team had not killed the game off on the back of a bristling display of counter-attacking, that almost suggested they were deliberately sucking Liverpool in before bursting clear on the break.
The delicate touch of Bergkamp and the devastating speed of Thierry Henry were, as ever, the two main focal points and fittingly, the pair combined to allow Pires to hand the visitors the perfect start.
A Liverpool raid broke to Bergkamp on the right, he bent a delicious ball in behind Stephane Henchoz for Henry and although Jerzy Dudek did well to block the initial effort, the ball bounced cruelly back across goal for the Pires to stroke home the simplest of goals.
Riise: chest perfect!
Patrick Vieira then had a header wiped out at a corner for a blatant shove on Sami Hyypia before Bergkamp loaded another bullet for Henry, but Dudek saved at his near post and only the presence of the otherwise anonymous Bruno Cheyrou at the other upright prevented Pascal Cygan heading home from the corner.
Henry then found the side netting after positively embarrassing Jamie Carragher - who had little help from El Hadji Diouf down the Liverpool right - before Michael Owen squandered his second chance of the half, firing lamely at David Seaman after Heskey and Danny Murphy had disposessed Vieira.
Heskey also headed wide as Liverpool held on, aided by an uncharacteristically wayward night from Henry, who found Dudek's shins and the side-netting after two more waltzes in from out wide as the Gunners began the second half firing on all cylinders.
The left proved Liverpool's best outlet as well and after a sumptious long ball from Hyppia, Riise cut back only to be denied by Seaman's legs, before the Norwegian rifled home the sweetest of equalisers after Lauren had half-stopped Owen and Heskey had calmly laid the ball square.
Dudek, who showed he is back to his best after an enforced first-team break, then beat out another Henry effort, this time from a bending free-kick before all Arsenal's admirable approach play was rewarded with the ugliest of goals.
Bergkamp: deflected strike
Ashley Cole, Pires, Henry and Bergkamp were all involved in a slick move to the very edge of the Liverpool box, but as the defence failed to clear its lines, the latter went for the far corner with a trademark curler but caught it wrong, only to see it skim off the inside of Henchoz's leg and past the helpess Dudek
Henry then wasted yet another chance to wrap things up by firing at the keeper's legs, before Bergkamp was withdrawn by Wenger, suggesting that without Martin Keown, Arsenal's have what we hold approach needed bolstering.
Luzhny was the man called upon and he thought he'd done his bit by keeping Baros from crossing. The corner was awarded, the marking was absent and as the second ball fell to Heskey's head, honours were left even between these two again.
It was hard to see who leapt the highest, the Liverpool man eight yards out, or Sir Alex Ferguson in the Anfield stands.
Sir Alex , he jumped about 40 feet in the air, lmao
must admit though Mickie D , Henry looked awsome especially first half,

yeah but if you watched the game. i take no shame for a draw even though we scared liverpool with are attacking play
and it does make the race more fun (for man u and arsenal of course)
we was wonderful to watch, i could not ask more for from are players.
aint gonna bang on about the corner because it was not a corner we all know that but liverpool would argue that the penalty against them was not a penalty at our last meeting.
liverpool battled to the end and grabed a point, fair play to them.
but anyone arsenal fan who watched the game should not be to bitter about it, we was fantastic and proved why we are the bench mark of english football today (and thats a qoute from steven gerrard himself).
but go on scoot get your comments in (we still got you at highbury and if we put in a performance like we did against liverpool then there will be only one outcome, ask any honest liverpool fan)
PS @ scoot there is a bold tag in your signiture that is not closed m8 <b> it needs to be </b> at the end of your text that is bold m8
