Arsenal scored the goal that would send them through to the semi-finals of the Champions League from a quite brilliant run by Theo Walcott in the 84th minute.
But Liverpool substitute Ryan Babel immediately earned a penalty, that Gerrard converted, and then scored a 4th Liverpool goal.
Babel, in first season at Liverpool after transferring from Ajax Amsterdam, had expressed interest in playing for Arsenal in the summer, but after Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger expressed no interest, Rafa Benitez came in for him.
Based on tonight's game, it looks like that could have been a misstep by Wenger.

433, I agree with you. Babel looks a lot more assured in the EPL than I thought he would be - I saw him in a couple of international friendlies. He is still a little on-and-off but there is no doubt he has tons of potential. I don't know if Wenger had any financial constraints when he made that decision but that was a big miss by him.
