Arsenal's title bid in tatters after Bolton defeat


Arsenal's Premier League title challenge is all but over after they lost to a last-minute goal at Bolton.
The Gunners were below par in the first half and trailed at half-time to Daniel Sturridge's header following a corner.
Early in the second half, Wojciech Szczesny saved a Kevin Davies penalty and a minute later Robin van Persie slotted in an equaliser for Arsenal.
The visitors had enough chances to win the match but were left shocked by Tamir Cohen's poignant late header.
The substitute celebrated his match-winning goal by revealing a t-shirt in honour of his late father Avi, who died after a motorbike accident in December.
Arsene Wenger's side are now nine points behind leaders Manchester United with just four games to play.
And even if they defeat United at the Emirates Stadium next Sunday, Arsenal have given themselves too much to do.
This was a must-win game as far as Arsenal were concerned and Wenger's team started as though they meant business.
