All hail the bandage.
In a finale that we've all come to expect when Liverpool take on Arsenal at Anfield, a wounded Martin Skrtel rescued a sorely needed point for Brendan Rodgers's side by heading home a corner kick from Adam Lallana in the 97th minute.
The goal came five minutes after Liverpool had been reduced to 10 men as a result of Fabio Borini's second yellow card.
Coincidentally, the reason nine minutes of stoppage time were added in the second half was due to the scary injury Skrtel suffered when Olivier Giroud stepped on his head just after the interval.
Again, the match's conclusion was extremely fitting ...
.. and Srktel's goal was the second-latest marker in Liverpool's Premier League history.
