Liverpool were set to take a point from their last ever visit to Highbury when Steven Gerrard's played a back pass straight into Tierry Henry's path allowing the French striker to score the winner. After the game the Liverpool captain admitted he was at fault for the defeat.

"It was just like France all over again. I was trying to take up time. I did not see him. The last player you want the ball to go to is the best player on the planet," said Gerrard about a similar incident at Euro 2004.
 
"It was completely my fault and I hold up my hands. It was a stupid mistake that has stopped us from robbing a point because we did not play well at all."
