Liverpool and Chelsea pegged back in EPL thrillers

Arsenal came back from 2-0 down to claim a draw against Liverpool at the Emirates stadium. The visitors took the lead through Luis Suarez in the 3rd minute of play. Bacary Sagna and Gibbs failed to clear the ball before the Uruguayan scored his 17th league goal of the season.

Liverpool were marginally better than their opponents throughout the first half. Arsenal came close to scoring through Walcott and a tame Oliver Giroud header.
In the 43rd minute, Jordan Henderson got to the end of a counter attack, but the Arsenal keeper closed him down before Henderson's goal attempt landed on the roof of the net.

Second Half
Liverpool's penalty appeal was turned down by the referee. Thomas Vermaelen seems to have touched the ball in the penalty box. The match was an end-to-end stuff as the two keepers were put under test.

Henderson scored a fantastic goal on the hour mark to make it 2-0 to Liverpool.

The 'Gunners' responded with two goals in two minutes. Oliver Giroud scored the first before Theo Walcott capitalised on an error by Johnson to make it 2-2.

At the Madjeski stadium, Reading stunned Chelsea with two late goals. Juan Mata and Frank Lampard put the visitors ahead, but Chelsea failed to hold on to their two goal lead in the injury time. The match ended 2-2.
