Allen hurts Arsenal

Joe Allen's dramatic last-minute equaliser earned Liverpool a 3-3 draw at home to Arsenal on Wednesday that enabled Leicester City to move level on points at the Premier League summit.

The Welsh midfielder volleyed home in front of the Kop at a wintry Anfield to deny leaders Arsenal a victory that would have kept Arsene Wenger's men two points clear at the top of the table.

Robert Huth scored an 83rd-minute winner as Leicester won 1-0 at fourth-place Tottenham Hotspur, while Manchester City remain three points off the pace in third after drawing 0-0 at home to Everton.

Arsenal travel to Stoke City on Sunday and will do so with renewed doubts after their title credentials after failing to protect the advantage given to them by Olivier Giroud's 55th-minute goal.

Roberto Firmino was preferred to Christian Benteke up front by Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and he rewarded the German's faith by slamming home a 10th-minute opener after Petr Cech parried a shot from Emre Can.
