Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Lukas Podolski were the ones who brought victory to coach Arsene Wenger's army, while Steven Gerrard was the only scorer for The Kop.
With this victory, Arsenal not only entered the FA Cup quarter-finals, but also created a very good psychological momentum for the reception of Bayern Munich in the Champions League knockout round in the early morning of February 20 (Vietnam time).
Meanwhile, in La Liga, Real Madrid returned to the top 2 after a 3-0 win at Getafe. This victory helped Real equalize 60 points with Barcelona and Atletico, to continue the "three-horse" race this season.
Meanwhile in Serie A, Juventus are still on course for the top of the table after a 3-1 home win over Chievo Verona, which put them nine points clear of AS Roma, who beat Sampdoria 3-0 in the late game. Roma, however, still have a game in hand.
