Soccer - Arsenal 1 Liverpool 1:Arsenal saw their Premier League title hopes all but extinguished after Dirk Kuyt secured a 1-1 draw for Liverpool with a 101st-minute penalty just moments after Robin van Persie's own spot-kick had looked enough for victory.
The Gunners - now six point points behind leaders Manchester United having played the same number of games - had plenty of possession and hit the bar in the first half through Laurent Koscielny, but were unable to make their dominance count until deep into stoppage time when Van Persie crashed home a spot-kick.
However, Liverpool - who had earlier seen captain Jamie Carragher carried off with concussion - snatched a point with the final kick of the match after Emmanuel Eboue had pushed Lucas.
Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish praised the spirit of his side. "I think what we did at the end epitomised the performance," he said.
"We lost two players (Carragher and Andy Carroll), we had two teenagers at right and left-back, playing against a side looking to win the league. We remained committed to getting something out of the game and we had to play on."
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was unhappy that, after eight minutes on added time had been signalled, referee Andre Marriner awarded Liverpool's penalty three minutes after that time had passed.
Wenger had words with Dalglish on the touchline after Kuyt's goal, but the Scot added: "I'd rather not repeat what was said.
"I don't know why a conversation between two managers on the bench is relevant after a game like that. It's not worth the time of day."
Wenger admitted he was unhappy that so much added time had been played, and also claimed that he did not believe Liverpool's penalty should have been awarded.
He said: "It was a game where Liverpool defended a lot. I feel hard done by in the end because the time was over by three minutes. But you have to take it and you continue to fight. Extra time was eight minutes.
"Lucas played in an intelligent way. He stopped his run and the referee saw penalty, but what can you do about it?"
