Play by play
- 98'
FULL-TIME. Arsenal 0-0 City. Well that was a dire game of football between two sides with plenty of players who should be able to provide more of a spectacle. Arsenal's chances of winning the title are officially ended, while a draw is by no means a bad result for City - they are still in the hunt. Adebayor made a bit of a difference but the main news is the shoulder injury to Given - that could be a big blow to City's chances. Thanks for tuning in and join us for Chelsea's game against Stoke to

Nasri trying to unlock the City defence but it's all over...
- 97'
It's fizzled out a bit here - I will be very surprised if there is a last-minute winner.
- 96'
Nasri and Song interchange well - two successive one-twos free Song in the box but City clear their lines.
- 95'
Tevez pulled up for tugging at Campbell.
- 94'
Campbell plays a cracking long ball to Bendtner inside the area. He tries to get a shot away but instead treads on the ball. Embarassing.
- 93'
Song passes it to Nasri in space down the left - but why did he not cross it! Instead he knocked it back and Clichy does cross - but not very well.
- 92'
Van Persie looks like he might be nursing a touch of cramp.
- 91'
Nasri advances down the left, plays it in to Van Persie and then watches his captain fire high over the bar and wide.
- 90'
Tevez drags City forward but it's given away.
- 90'
Eight minutes of added time to play.
- 89'
Song plays Bendtner in down the right and the Denmark striker hits one. Saved easily by Nielsen though.
- 88'
he plays it in to Bellamy who made a great run - but his first touch just takes it out of play.
- 88'
Barry volleys an impressive cross-field pass to Zabaleta.
- 87'
Van Persie has it on the right of the area but nobody seems to want to shoot at the inexperienced goalkeeper. The Dutchman crosses it in but it's quickly away.

Headed away by Adebayor.
- 86'
Kompany penalised for a shove on Bendtner and it's a right wing free-kick this time for Arsenal. Van Persie to deliver.
- 86'
Tevez breask again for City and he plays it into bellamy who has a weak shot from the edge of the area. Easy pickings - even for Fabianski.
- 85'
Left-wing free-kick taken by Nasri and Nielsen punched it away convincingly.
- 85'
Comical defending from Richards and he's given away a free-kick for pulling Diaby's shirt.
- 84'
A great effort from Van Persie, it was more of a chipped attempt than anything from 20 yards out and it grazed the right-hand post.
- 83'
Van Persie to take.
- 83'
Good turn of pace by Eboue and Zabaleta brings him down on the edge of the box. It's a booking and a free-kick in a dangerous position.
- 82'
Eboue with a smart turn in midfield and Arsenal still probing.
- 81'
The City move ended with Clichy chasing down Tevez and clearing it away.
