Arsenal pay the penalty

Dirk Kuyt's dramatic late penalty earned Liverpool a 1-1 draw at Arsenal to seriously dent Arsenal's title hopes.

Robin van Persie's last-gasp penalty looked to have earned Arsenal a vital , but win but with the final kick of the game Kuyt secured a point for Liverpool to leave the Gunners' title hopes in tatters.

In a dramatic last few minutes the game both sides were awarded penalties just when it looked like it would end goalless.

Van Persie scored from the spot in the eighth minute of stoppage time to give after Jay Spearing had brought down Cesc Fabregas inside the box.

However, there was still time left for Liverpool to win a penalty of their own when Emmanuel Eboue felled Lucas in the box and Kuyt kept his cool to score with the last kick of the game.
