After the tenth minute of injury time yesterday Arsenal were still in the hunt for the Premier League title but a push by Emmanuel Eboue on Lucas was punished by the referee Andre Marriner who awarded Liverpool a penalty.
Dirk Kuyt stepped up and scored. Not only did it means a share of the spoils but it also mean't Arsenal were virtually out of the title race.
Manchester United could extend their lead at the top to nine points should they beat Newcastle United on Tuesday so Djourou knows whatever the result Arsenal must win the North London derby on Wednesday.
Speaking to Arsenal TV online he said: "The gap has grown a little bit now but we must keep going because you never know what can happen, starting at Tottenham. It's a shame about the Liverpool result. We thought we had it in the bag. Our home form is the issue. That's three home draws in a row and we have to learn. This team has a lot of quality and character, we just need to bounce back and keep fighting starting on Wednesday."
Have Arsenal got the character to bounce back and get themselves back in the title hunt or is that it for the season? Arsenal fans let us know email jaymoe26@gmail.com or twitter @jamiemason76
