25 April 2009: Hull City – Liverpool
MATCH: HULL – LIVERPOOL
HULL
During the last match Hull had limped up to the Stadium of Light in freefall having won just one of their 16 previous Premier League matches and now find themselves teetering on the brink with memories of their bright start fading fast.
Yet the way Hull started the match suggested there may be life in them yet, as they got forward with plenty of freedom and fashioned their first chance with less than two minutes on the clock.
“It was a well fought contest. I’m not sure either side deserved to win. That bit of quality was missing but I asked for a committed performance and I got it. If I get that in the next five games then I will be happy. I thought the goal was offside but it was a difficult one to judge. Luck is not with us at the moment but we have to make sure it turns for us next week.” Brown.

LIVERPOOL
Four goals from Andrey Arshavin put a huge dent in Liverpool’s Barclays Premier League title hopes as Arsenal drew 4-4 at Anfield.
The hosts went ahead of Manchester United on goal difference having come from behind three times, starting with Arshavin’s first in the 36th minute.
Fernando Torres and Yossi Benayoun scored soon after the interval but three further goals from the Russian Gunner piled the pressure back on Rafael Benitez’s side and even a second from Torres and an injury-time equaliser from Benayoun were not enough to force victory.
The result hands a huge advantage to United, who have two matches in hand with the first at home to Portsmouth.
Liverpool were architects of their own downfall as the first three Arsenal goals came from mistakes.
