Arsenal was unlucky enough to drawn with Liverpool

Everyone knew where this game was bound from the instant the draw was made, but the sides took a winding, scenic route to deadlock that nobody had expected. Frequently, there was more madness than method and this was not the type of stalemate anticipated in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final. While Liverpool, with their away goal, have the edge, Arsenal would surely have won had the substitute Nicklas Bendtner, in an offside position, not been in the way of a net-bound effort from Cesc Fábregas.
