    A superb stoppage time winner by striker Neil Mellor
    gave Liverpool a dramatic 2-1 victory over struggling
    Premier League champions Arsenal at Anfield on Sunday
    (November 28).

    Liverpool took a deserved first-half lead with a
    cracking shot from the edge of the area by Spanish
    playmaker Xabi Alonso, but Arsenal looked to have earned a
    draw after skipper Patrick Vieira knocked in a 57th minute
    equaliser.

    However, Mellor's last-gasp drive consigned Arsenal to
    their second league defeat of the season and handed title
    rivals Chelsea a commanding five-point lead at the top.

    In Italy, Argentine striker Hernan Crespo continued his
    return to form by grabbing the winner in AC Milan's 1-0 win
    at Chievo Verona on Sunday. The striker, on loan from
    English leaders Chelsea, had not scored until last week's
    Italian Cup win at Palermo, but now has four goals in three
    games after his Champions League double against Shakhtar
    Donetsk on Wednesday.
