Liverpool 4-4 Arsenal: The Reds start brightly with Fernando Torres giving Kole Toure and his defensive colleagues plenty to think about
At the other end, January signing Andrey Arshavin looks to get the better of Alvaro Arbeloa for the Gunners
It is the Russian who breaks the deadlock in the 36th minute, against the run of play, when he sidefoots home from Cesc Fabregas's pass
With Liverpool keeping the pressure on, Alex Song breaks up an attack as they unsuccessfully try to equalise before half-time
Rafael Benitez's side have their equaliser soon after the interval, however, when Torres rises to head home from Dirk Kuyt's cross
The Dutchman sends in another fine ball for Yossi Benayoun who forces it over the line despite a kick in the face
Next, a sensational long-range effort from Arshavin beats goalkeeper Pepe Reina to make it 2-2 in the 67th minute
Despite having the better of things, the hosts are stunned to find themselves behind again when Arshavin completes his hat-trick
Their advantage only lasts for a little over two minutes when Albert Riera's cross finds Torres who turns and fires home his second
With the game into its 90th minute and the Reds pushing for victory, Theo Walcott breaks for Arsenal and sets up a fourth for Arshavin
However, an injury-time strike from Benayoun makes it 4-4 to earn Liverpool a point and return them to the top of the league
