Dirk Kuyt claims Liverpool are refusing to give up on their dream of clinching the Barclays Premier League title.
The Reds played out a pulsating 4-4 draw with Arsenal at Anfield last night and although the result was enough to move Rafa Benitez's side to the top of the table on goal difference, Manchester United now have two games in hand on Liverpool.
"It is harder after last night because we knew before the game that we needed to win to keep the pressure on," said Kuyt.
"But at least we got a draw and didn’t lose and we have to keep fighting until the very end.
"It has become more difficult than it already was but you have seen a team that has not given up and we will never give up."
Despite dominating for long periods of the game, Liverpool were forced to come from behind on three occasions in order to claim a point and Kuyt believes defensive errors ultimately proved costly for the Reds.
"All of their goals came from our own mistakes and this is something we have to change but we need to keep our focus on our next game," added the Dutchman.
"It will be difficult but as long as we keep winning our own games then maybe they will struggle. United have two games in hand so they could take a six point lead so they will have to lose twice but that can happen.
"The point we took is an important one because otherwise we could have ended up seven points behind and that would have made it almost impossible."
