Carling Cup – Arsenal Brush Past Liverpool

Arsenal moved into the quarter-finals of the Carling Cup with a 2-1 win over Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium.

There was plenty of attacking endeavour on show and the packed stands were treated to three top-class goals. Fran Merida netted his first goal in Arsenal colours on 19 minutes, but his excellent strike was cancelled out by an equalling good finish from Emiliano Insua six minutes later.
