soccer match UPDATES! 14 March 2009 Home: Away ManUtd Vs LiverPool 1 - 4 Liverpool came from behind at Old Trafford to re-ignite the Barclays Premier League title race with a stunning victory. Cristiano Ronaldo put Manchester United in front from the penalty spot after Pepe Reina had brought down Park Ji-Sung on 23 minutes. Fernando Torres bustled past Nemanja Vidic to level five minutes later and Steven Gerrard put the Merseysiders in front from the spot a minute before the break after he had been fouled by Patrice Evra. Vidic was shown a straight red for a foul on Gerrard on 73 minutes and further punishment was inflicted as Fabio Aurelio curled home the free-kick. Andrea Dossena lobbed Edwin van der Sar in the final minute to complete a magnificent victory and cut the lead on the champions to just four points. Arsenal VS Black'B 4 - 0 Andrey Arshavin netted a brace as Arsenal beat Blackburn Rovers 4-0 at the Emirates Stadium. Arshavin opened his Arsenal account as an attacking masterclass saw the Gunners to a handsome victory over Blackburn in their Barclays Premier League match. Theo Walcott, restored to the starting XI following a cameo against Roma in midweek, was in electric form all afternoon but the headlines will go to the £15m Russian and substitute Emmanuel Eboue, who scored twice at the end. Arshavin netted a fine individual effort after 65 minutes and may yet be credited with a second after his heavily deflected shot gave Arsenal the opener after just 80 seconds, while Eboue benefited from a tap-in and a penalty.
