Arsenal grabbed a point with a freak late goal in a 1-1 draw at Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday in a Premier League clash which saw both sides finish the game with 10 players. David Ngog gave Liverpool a 46th minute lead, but Arsenal levelled in the 90th minute. Tomas Rosicky's cross was bundled on to a post by Marouane Chamakh and the ball rebounded back over the goalline off Liverpool keeper Pepe Reina.
Joe Cole's English Premier League bow as a Liverpool player lasted just 45 minutes before he was sent off on the stroke of half-time for a scything tackle on Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny. French defender Koscielny, a summer capture from Lorient, was stretchered off as former Chelsea star Cole left the pitch dismayed by referee Martin Atkinson's decision.
Atkinson had already booked Arsenal youngster Jack Wilshere for a studs-up challenge on Liverpool's Argentine midfielder Javier Mascherano. In injury time at the end of the match Koscielny, who had returned after the half-time interval, was also sent off for handball.
