Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard believes the stunning 4-4 draw with Arsenal could prove to be a 'big point' in the title race.
The Reds saw their championship chances dented after an amazing game at Anfield saw Andrey Arshavin score four goals for Arsenal in a pulsating encounter.
The point moved Liverpool to the top of the table on goal difference, but Manchester United have two games in hand and are firm favourites to retain the title.
Gerrard, who missed the game through injury, is refusing to concede defeat and believes there are still twists and turns to happen in the chase for the championship.
"Ideally we wanted three points, so we see it as two points dropped but this point could be important," Gerrard told Sky Sports 1.
"I still feel that there are going to be a few twists and turns, but we are relying on other people to do us favours.
"It was a tremendous game for the neutral but not for myself.
"I enjoyed it but obviously I wanted three points."
Gerrard admitted Liverpool were looking at seeing their title dreams derailed until Yossi Benayoun's injury-time goal earned them a deserved point.
Asked if defeat would have ended their championship challenges, Gerrard said: "Yeah I would say so.
"You are talking about Manchester United they are a fantasic team and you look at their run-in, look to see where they are going to drop points.
"It would have been very, very difficult if we had lost the game, but I think that point could be big."
