Arsenal hero Robin van Persie deflected praise to teammate Alex Song for his winner at Liverpool.

Van Persie's winner, a beautifully-struck side-foot volley inside Jose Reina's near post from midfielder Song's pass, was reminiscent of a goal he scored against Everton earlier in the season.

"It was the same pass from the same guy, Alex, an unbelievable pass," he said. "This one I hit with the inside of my foot, but again it was an unbelievable pass.

"Alex is a really good player, he can see it (the pass) and actually do it."
