Reina’s spill lets in Arsenal

LONDON – A mistake by Liverpool keeper Pepe Reina allowed Arsenal to salvage a draw against a Reds side who had Joe Cole sent off on his Premier League debut for his new club yesterdayCole was red-carded for a lunge on Laurent Koscielny before David Ngog’s driven shot put Liverpool ahead.The lead lasted until the last minute when Marouane Chamakh diverted a cross against the post and Reina spilled the rebound into his own net.Koscielny was then sent off for a second bookable offence in injury-time.The late drama capped a frantic finish to the game, with Reina the unlikely culprit as victory eluded a Liverpool side who had resolutely held Arsenal at bay.Reina had produced two key earlier saves to help maintain Liverpool’s lead as the Reds defended with discipline and determination to neutralise Arsenal after Cole had received the first red card of his career.
