Play by play

  1. 90'

    And that proves to be the last action of the game - it wasn't particularly pretty or convincing, but Arsenal have won 2-1 and top the league

  2. 90'

    Bergkamp breaks through and chips goalwards - Schmeichel saves

  3. 90'

    In the end, it's played short and the Gunners are indulging in a spot of keep-ball

  4. 90'

    Henry wins another corner, and Arsenal are in no hurry to do anything with it

  5. 90'

    Into stoppage time, and it looks like another Arsenal win - and top spot in the Premiership table

  6. 90'

    Foe lunges at it after it deflects off an Arsenal player, but his header flies over the top

  7. 89'

    Toure cuts into the area but can't make anything of it... Anelka wins a corner from a quick break and keeper Schmeichel comes forward...

  8. 88'

    Ashley Cole makes a gallop forward and wins a corner. Two minutes of normal time remaining

  9. 87'

    Time ticking away, and Arsenal are just trying to keep the ball and preserve what would be their third straight home victory

  10. 86'

    Wiltord chips towards Luzhny, who can't quite get there as he gallops down the right

  11. 85'

    Bernarbia's into the referee's book for a second time... he's sent off, and that second yellow card seemed to be for foul and abusive language

  12. 84'

    Anelka crosses towards Foe, but the ball's too high for the Cameroon star to get to

  13. 84'

    Signs, though, that the visitors could still snatch an equalising goal

  14. 83'

    Wright-Phillips whips in an excellent cross from the right, but nobody's there to take advantage for Manchester City

  15. 82'

    Anelka gets into the area again - this time Luzhny is the man to produce an important block from the former Arsenal star

  16. 81'

    It's a disappointing one and Arsenal can break - but Vieira's loose pass ends the momentum

  17. 80'

    Corner to the visitors - Bernarbia behind it

  18. 80'

    Goater sets up Anelka at the corner of the box - Campbell produces a superb block for the home side

  19. 79'

    Toure tries to find Henry when he could have shot himself - Henry can't control the pass and the threat evaporates

  20. 78'

    Horlock does come on, and he'll replace central defender Steve Howey as Keegan looks for a late leveller

  21. 77'

    In the meantime, City launch another attack - and fail to create a threat

  22. 76'

    City look likely to make another change - Kevin Horlock could be coming on...

  23. 76'

    No - Henry's ambitious effort curls well wide of the mark

  24. 75'

    Arsenal on the attack - can they get the rhythm back into their play?

  25. 74'

    Seaman slices a kick straight out of play... this game's going to sleep
