Steven Gerrard believes Yossi Benayoun's last-gasp leveller against Arsenal last night could yet prove to be a crucial goal in Liverpool's pursuit of the Barclays Premier League trophy.
Arsenal appeared to be heading for all three points as they held a 4-3 lead in stoppage time, but Benayoun's Kop end strike ensured the Reds went back to the top of the table, albeit only on goal difference after their seventh home draw of the season.
Despite the frustration of seeing two points slip away, Gerrard is remaining positive and believes the one point collected could prove significant in the final reckoking.
"United have a fantastic team and you look at their run-in, look to see where they are going to drop points - it would have been very difficult if we'd lost the game," said the Reds skipper. "I think that point could be big. We'll have to wait and see how big it could be for us.
"Performance-wise, at times we were very good. Torres and Benayoun were frightening going forward. Yossi was my man of the match.
"It's not like us to concede that many goals. We're normally sound defensively, especially at home.
"Now we need United to get beaten which is difficult to do because they're a good team. Hopefully others can look at what we did to them and what Fulham did to them. I still believe there will be twists and turns in this title race and we'll keep on fighting."
