A point gained or two dropped?

Arsenal's failure to end their Anfield hoodoo by throwing away a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 away to Liverpool on Sunday has opened the door for Manchester City to snatch the Premier League title away from the Gunners.

The Gunners and their title credentials were given a thorough examination on Merseyside. They emerged intact - if damaged slightly - despite opening the door to Manchester City, who now trail Mikel Arteta's side by six points after thrashing struggling Southampton on Saturday.

With the champions having played a game fewer than Arsenal, and with the two sides set to meet at the Etihad Stadium on April 26, the title race is set to go down to the wire.

Whether Arsenal's result at Anfield should be classed as a point gained or two points dropped was the topic of debate in the Sky Sports studio after the game as pundits Gary Neville, Roy Keane and Jamie Carragher assessed the Premier League title race. "We all know how difficult it is to win at Anfield… but in the end it's a point which could win you the title, you cannot lose sight of that," Neville said.

However, Keane saw this as an opportunity squandered by Arsenal.

"The team [Manchester City] that is hunting Arsenal down is one of the greatest teams we've seen in the Premier League - ever - they are an amazing team, have an unbelievable striker, a manager that has vast experience and world-class players," Keane said.  "That is why you would probably say City are still slight favourites," he added.
