Arsenal 1 Liverpool 1: Liverpool secured an all-important away goal in a thrilling Champions League quarter-final first leg match at the Emirates Stadium.
Emmanuel Adebayor headed Arsenal ahead after 23 minutes when he rose unchallenged to power the ball past keeper Pepe Reina from close range.
Arsenal's joy was short-lived however as Liverpool equalised in the 26th minute when captain Steven Gerrard surged past three defenders wide on the left and crossed for Dirk Kuyt to slide home.
Tonight's match was the first of three between the teams inside seven days as they face each other again in the Premier League at the Emirates on Saturday before the return leg at Anfield next Tuesday.
