Andrey Arshavin kept Arsenal‘s title hopes alive by scoring the decisive goal to beat Liverpool 2 – 1 at Anfield on Sunday.
Arsenal fell behind to Dirk Kuyt’s goal shortly before half-time but levelled soon after the break through a Glen Johnson own-goal.
Russia international Arshavin, who scored four goals in last season’s 4-4 draw at Anfield, then produced a sublime moment of skill to complete Arsenal’s fightback with a slickly-taken, forceful shot, just before the hour mark.
Victory saw Arsenal regain third place and move to within six points of leaders Chelsea, held to a draw by Everton on Saturday and three of second-placed champions Manchester United, beaten by Aston Villa on Saturday, with a game in hand over the top two.
