Peter Crouch finished nicely early on to put us in the lead at the Emirates until Bendtner put a header in from a Fabregas free kick. I’m sure you’ll agree this sets things up nicely for tomorrow night’s champions league second leg at Anfield.

Only 3 of the team from last weeks Champions League match started on Saturday; Reina, Carragher and Skrtel underlining the fact that Rafa is more focused on the the Champions League tie.

Crouch picked up Reina’s goal kick and drove forward to the edge of the box to drive a low shot into the bottom corner.

Once Arsenal had equalised I was surprised that they didn’t push forwards for a winner as everyone was expecting. We had the best chances to take the lead in the latter half of the game - Crouch set up Voronin but he shot wide. I couldn’t beleive Voronin managed to fall over after going round Almunia, all he had to do was put the ball in the net and we could have taken all 3 points and ended Arsenal’s title dreams.
