Reds 4-2 Arsenal: Now there are no doubts.

What an amazing night.

It ranks up there with the very best European nights we've had at Anfield and unlike recent times it had the goals to go alongside the obvious tension and excitement.

Talking to people who were at the game the Kop was shaking from start to finish as the infectious Fernando Torres song took hold and the bouncing never stopped.

On the pitch we came back from a disasterous start to roar into the lead. Torres goal was one fit to win any game of football and my only regret would be that it did not win this one but it was so important nonetheless.

Emanuel Adebayor must have thought he'd buried us but there is no accounting for the sheer ferocity and determination of Liverpool's attack.

Ryan Babel's contribution puts him on a par with David Fairclough when it comes to being a super sub but with time we hope the Dutchman will be much more than that. But undoubtedly his best performances this season have come from the bench.

Arsene Wenger predictably moaned about the penalty but these things happen in football. We've had our fair share of bad decisions this season as well and over the course of the season they often balance out.

It's just often that they balance out in different ways. Arsenal may get a lucky decision in an (increasingly) meaningless league game before the season is out. Whereas, this season at least, we often tend to get done over by refs in league games against the big four but get our fair share of luck in these types of games.

At the end of the day it was a penalty probably about as much as Kuyt's tug on Hleb was last week only this time the referee chose to award it. Such is football.

But I felt on the balance of play we deserved to win tonight anyway. We were much better after Arsenal rattled us in the opening 20 minutes and only an amazing run from Theo Walcott in which our entire midfield and defence fell to pieces resulted in an equaliser Arsenal barely merited on their second half play.

That I thought would be the end of us. Nowhere near as heartbreaking as Michael Thomas in 1989 but not far off given how little was left in the game.

But the comeback was swift and devastating and was the mark of a side who don't rely on luck but on quality players, the supporters and a remarkable will to win.

And that is what makes this very unique football club so great. As one banner in the stands said tonight - "Scousers Rule The World" We do tonight and hopefully it won't be for the last time this season.
