Remembering Arsenal's four-goal hero OTD in 2009

Arsenal are fresh off a four-goal win at Ipswich Town at the weekend, but it's still a rarity for one of their players to take all the glory.


Only twice in the north Londoners' Premier League history have they had four-goal heroes with Thierry Henry joined by only another figure from the Arsène Wenger era.

It was 16 years ago that Andrey Arshavin emulated the legendary Gunners forward as his side struck a blow to Liverpool's Premier League credentials with a 4-4 draw.

Rafael Benítez's side and Manchester United were locked in a seesaw battle for the title which the defending champions would ultimately win by a four-point margin.

And it was Arshavin's mesmerising display at Anfield which played a part in the Reds falling short as their wait for a first domestic crown since 1990 went on.
