LIVERPOOL vs ARSENAL - All square at Anfield
Saturday 27th October 2007
Most neutral observers agreed that a draw was the fair outcome of the compelling contest between Liverpool and Arsenal. That’s the result we agree with but with each team having a goal added for their efforts. Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher was magnificent at the heart of the home defence but, once again, his increasing habit of holding attackers around their shoulders should have been penalised with a penalty when he grappled with Cesc Fabregas in the closing stages of the game. Already with a goal advantage, Liverpool should also have been awarded a pen in the 28th minute when Bakary Sagna handled during the melee that preceded Manuel Almunia making a brilliant save to deny Steven Gerrard a second goal.
The Right Result is a 2-2 draw.

Carragher definitely pulled Fabregas down but I also thought Sagna’s was ball-to-hand. That said those get given and so 2-2 is probably right.

What does Carragher have to do to concede a penalty. Rumour has it that he’s taking a rocket launcher onto the pitch for his next match - just to see if he can get away with that one as well.
