| Arsenal Gunners soccer tickets. A close-range header from Stelios consigned Arsenal to defeat at the Reebok Stadium this evening and dealt a sizable blow to their chances of retaining the Premiership title.
With Chelsea winning at Tottenham a few hours earlier, Arsenal were again playing catch-up. Despite a scrappy start, there seemed no intense danger in until, in the 41st minute, Stelios nodded in a teasing cross from El-Hadji Diouf. Kevin Nolan should have then doubled the advantage before the break. In response, Arsenal threw themselves forward after the interval. Robert Pires nodded wide from close range just after the restart and Thierry Henry burst through on the right before forced the best from Bolton keeper Jussi Jasskelainen with a low shot. However, try as they might, Bolton stayed solid until the end. |

Henry and Manuel Almunia had been rested for the game while Sol Campbell, Ashley Cole and Freddie Ljungberg were injured. All came back today. A full compliment would be needed. Manchester United and Chelsea had been victorious in tricky looking fixtures at Liverpool and Tottenham respectively earlier in the day. Yet again Arsenal were the last of the top three to play. |
