Sunderland 1-1 Arsenal

Sunderland VS ArsenalArsenal left it late to earn a point at the Stadium of Light on Saturday afternoon.

Arsenal's bid to go top of the Barclays Premier League foundered at Sunderland but they were lucky to escape defeat as Cesc Fabregas' 93rd-minute header salvaged a 1-1 draw.

Having been beaten by Hull City last week, the Gunners have now dropped five points in two matches.

Arsene Wenger's side appeared to have been beaten by Grant Leadbitter's stunning 86th-minute strike. The midfielder picked the ball up 25 yards out and smashed a shot in off the underside of the crossbar.

Spain midfielder Fabregas rescued the Gunners with a close-range header from a corner in the third minute of added time.
