A late rush of goals at the Liberty Stadium see some big in-play prices matched on Betfair as Swansea and Arsenal produce an entertaining stalemate

 

Arsenal's topsy-turvy season continued at the Liberty Stadium today where they gave cameos of their various different guises in the 90 minutes.

 

A sleepy game sprung into life when Michu came off the bench to open the scoring on 58 minutes, with a goal just seconds after coming on. With just 30 minutes left it looked as though Arsenal would be tumbling out of the cup at the earliest stage.

 

Cue a show of attacking talent from the visitors who established a lead with two goals in three minutes to put one foot in the fourth round. However, the Gunners' brittle defence was unable to hold out for the final seven minutes, with Danny Graham striking for the third time in the last three games. The Gunners were backed at an in-play low of 1.14 with the draw matched at 9.0. Four goals in the last 32 minutes saw the final score drift as high as 80.0 on the exchange.

 

In the winner market Arsenal trade at 10.0, with Swansea available to back at 90.0.

 

As expected, Liverpool won the late kick-off at Mansfield though only by a 2-1 scoreline.

 

Luis Suarez came off the bench to score the second following debutant Daniel Sturridge's opener, though it was not without a whiff of controversy as Suarez appeared to handle the ball. The home side pulled one back but could not get a second and they exited the Cup with their heads held high.

 

Liverpool now face Oldham in the fourth round.  The Anfield outfit are 11.0 to lift the trophy this year.
