Liverpool On Track For Top Four, Says Rodgers

Liverpool (AFP) - Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers felt his players demonstrated the character necessary to revitalise their challenge for a top-four Premier League finish in their last-gasp 2-2 draw with Arsenal.After Philippe Coutinho's opener was swiftly cancelled out by Mathieu Debuchy in first-half stoppage time at Anfield on Sunday, Olivier Giroud struck in the 64th minute to set Arsenal up for an opportunistic victory.But having earlier required treatment for a head wound inflicted by Giroud that left him with a bandaged head and led to nine minutes of injury time, Martin Skrtel claimed an equaliser with an emphatic 97th-minute header in front of the Kop.The point was the least Liverpool deserved after restricting Arsenal to a 36 percent share of possession -- their worst performance in that domain since passing statistics began to be compiled in 2003.And although Liverpool trail leaders Chelsea by 17 points and lie nine points adrift of the Champions League places, Rodgers is convinced that last season's runners-up are on the right track.Asked if Liverpool could sustain a challenge for a top-four finish, he told reporters: "Yes, absolutely."It was always going to be a big challenge.
