Liverpool and Arsenal played out one of the most exciting matches of the season on Sunday afternoon.
So much was riding on the game for both side.
At the start of play, Liverpool were 13 points adrift of the top four in the Premier League and needed a win to keep their slim hopes of qualifying for next season’s Champions League alive.
Arsenal, meanwhile, were looking for a victory to go eight points clear of Man City at the top of the table once more.
The two sides went on to share the spoils in a Premier League classic.
Arsenal went two goals up inside 30 minutes but Liverpool came roaring back.
The match ended 2-2 with both sides having chances to win the match in the final moments.
