As Christian Benteke headed down a hopeful punt into the Arsenal penalty area deep into Liverpool's clash with the Gunners on Wednesday night, few supporters in Anfield expected Joe Allen to be the player to meet the Belgian's knockdown.
But as the 25-year-old guided a well-struck volley beyond Petr Cech and into the bottom corner, Liverpool secured a vital point at home to the title favourites, showcasing a new-found fighting spirit under Jurgen Klopp.
Allen's goal capped a remarkable contest that saw two Roberto Firmino strikes cancelled out by Aaron Ramsey and Olivier Giroud before Giroud capitalised on some poor defending to fire Arsenal 3-2 up before the hour mark.
