Liverpool’s Dirk Kuyt converted a penalty with the last kick of the game to secure a 1-1 draw against Arsenal at the Emirates as the Gunners dropped another two points at home.

Robin van Persie looked to have snatched victory for Wenger’s men, who had struggled to hit top gear all day, when he slotted home an injury-time penalty after Cesc Fabregas was brought down by Jay Spearing.

But the drama was not over. As the clock ticked over the 100-minute mark – eight minutes had been added on for an earlier injury to Jamie Carragher – referee Andre Marriner pointed to the spot at the other end after Emmanuel Eboue had inexplicably pushed Lucas to the ground in the area.

Kuyt kept his nerve to steer home a brilliant spot-kick and send one section of the Emirates and those in the red half of Manchester wild.

The result leaves Arsenal six points behind United, with both sides now level on
