Top 5 all-English Champions League ties

#3 Liverpool 4-2 Arsenal (Agg 5-3), Quarterfinal 2nd leg 2007/08

Arsenal were another side who had the misfortunate of coming to Anfield for a big European occasion.

Having battled to a 1-1 draw at the Emirates, the tie was up for grabs will Liverpool and Arsenal both looking to carry the English flag to what would’ve been a fourth final in a row for an English team.

Arsenal took the lead and cancelled out Liverpool’s away goal when Abou Diaby found space and crept the ball in at the near post, sending the Londoners in the Anfield Road end wild.

The lead didn’t last long as Sami Hyypia found a yard on Philippe Senderos from a corner and slammed a header off of the far post.

Fernando Torres was once again at his brilliant best as he took the ball down in the box before turning and curling a brilliant effort into the top right corner and giving Liverpool a huge boost in front of the Kop.

Theo Walcott didn’t get this message, though. The speedy winger picked the ball up on the edge of his own box and evaded five attempted tackles from the opposition before squaring the ball to an extremely grateful Emmanuel Adebayor tucked the ball home to level the game up.

With just six minutes left on the clock, Liverpool immediately responded, taking the ball almost from kick-off directly into the Arsenal box, where Kolo Toure clumsily brought down Ryan Babel and gave Liverpool a penalty. Steven Gerrard stepped up and slammed the ball into the back of the net like he had so many times before.

Ryan Babel sealed the tie in added time when a long clearance found the Dutch winger who battled off Cesc Fabregas and slotted the ball home.

A fantastic tie in which both sides went all out to try and advance in Europe – everything a European tie should be.
