| Liverpool suffered their second home embarrassment in five days
as Arsenal grabbed a 2-1 victory in a game which was supposed to be
a new beginning for the Anfield men.
Manager Rafael Benitez had insisted the season started again for
his side after their midweek Champions League defeat to Fiorentina.
But he did not get his wish even though Liverpool led at the break
through Dirk Kuyt and should have had a penalty when William Gallas
felled Steven Gerrard.
Arsenal grabbed two quick goals through a Glen Johnson own goal
and an outstanding winner from Andrey Arshavin to heap more misery
on the men from Merseyside.
Arshavin hit four last season in a 4-4 draw, but this time one
was enough.
