Arsenal vs Liverpool - Highbury, London - Sunday 8th May 2005

Arsenal have the FA Cup Final to look forward to, and Liverpool have the Champions League final. So, aside from the Scousers' bid to qualify for next season's Champions League, not a huge amount to play for, and bigger fish to fry for both teams.

A return to warm, sunny weather, shirts out today all round, you know its that time when watching football is a pleasure - also the time when the season is about to end!

One of those games that Arsenal usually play against more lowly opposition, with 2 goals in quick succession to pretty much kill the game and secure the points. The 2 goals, both within the first half hour, silenced the Scouse singing about European Cups and all that boring stuff.

A goal by Steven Gerrard just after half time made things slightly more interesting in the second half, and Liverpool did come close to equalising on a couple of occasions. But, in injury time, Arsenal killed them off with the third goal.
