ARNE'S ARMY ALMOST THERE

Liverpool on brink of title after Gunners pegged back

-  Mike Walters

PUT a cork in it at Anfield and stick that champagne back in the fridge.

One man’s Bollinger is another man’s Prosecco but Liverpool’s party will have to wait until Sunday.

Careless Arsenal just about extended the Premier League title race another four days, though it is all over bar the sausage rolls and the vol-au-vents. Now it falls to Tottenham to be the party stooges but of Bonfire Night technicians trying to stop the rain from making the blue touchpaper soggy at the village firework display.

And nobody was expecting firecrackers or mortar shells when Arsenal had the small matter of a Champions League semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain next Tuesday.

So it was a major surprise that the Gunners went in front early from a set piece.
