Arsenal 1-1 Aston Villa

Arsenal 1

Bendtner (94)

Aston Villa 1

Senderos og (27)

A late Nicklas Bendtner goal rescued Arsenal after a Philippe Senderos own goal had seemed set to cost them their place at the top of the Premier League.

Gabriel Agbonlahor's driven, low cross was turned into his own net by the unfortunate Senderos on 27 minutes.

Villa almost added a second but Manuel Almunia did superbly to turn Shaun Maloney's fierce shot onto the post.

As a below-par Arsenal looked destined for defeat, substitute Bendtner poked in an equaliser in the last 10 seconds.

Arsenal: Almunia, Sagna, Gallas, Senderos (Denilson 78), Clichy, Hleb, Fabregas, Flamini (Silva 78), Diaby (Bendtner 59), Adebayor, Walcott.Subs Not Used: Lehmann, Justin Hoyte
