In the third of eight minutes of injury time, Van Persie shot past goalkeeper Jose Reina at the near post to end Liverpool’s unbeaten home record and strengthen Arsenal’s chances of qualifying for the Champions League.

Van Persie leveled the scores eight minutes later, heading in Bacary Sagna’s right-wing cross.

The Netherlands striker has scored 31 club goals this season.
