Liverpool shows top-4 form

Rodgers hails team's 'character' after gutsy draw with Arsenal

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers said his players demonstrated the character necessary to revitalize the club's challenge for a top-four Premier League finish in its last-gasp 2-2 draw with Arsenal on Sunday.

After Philippe Coutinho's opener was swiftly countered by Mathieu Debuchy in first-half stoppage time at Anfield, Olivier Giroud struck in the 64th minute to set Arsenal up for an opportunistic victory.
