Bolton Wanderers vs Arsenal

1. 94'

   Vela tries to curl it over the wall but Jaaskenlainen claims and that is that. A good game, and a bit of a damp squib for Owen Coyle's first game in charge, but Arsenal turned it on when they needed to and are well worth their win. Thanks for your comapny.

2. 93'

   Knight trips Vela and Arsenal have a free kick in an inviting area.

3. 92'

   Fabregas is floored but once again Phil Dowd denies him a free kick. He nearly grabbed a second just before that too, after a lovely Arshavin flick.

4. 90'

   Three minutes added..

5. 89'

   Vela and Knight square up after an aerial challenge. The Gunners forward didn't really look at the ball, which is why Knight got antsy.

6. 88'

   Clichy gets down the left but Cahill hacks clear his cross.

7. 86'

   Arsenal playing keep ball when they get it now, Bolton going long in desperation.

8. 84'

   Arsenal change: Eduardo off, Vela on.

9. 83'

   Lee collects an errant Traore clearance and finds Taylor but his first time effort flies over the bar. Tough chance, especially on his wrong foot.

10. 82'

    Arsenal's travelling fans serenade Arsene Wenger, as they are prone to do.

11. 80'

    That should kill the game off. Bolton have been spirited in this second half but they needed to take one of their chances.

12. 79'

    Bolton change: Elmander comes on for Klasnic and Gardner is on for Cohen.

13. 78'

    Fabregas fed Eduardo, he crossed superbly, and though Knight gets a nick on itthe onrushing Merida controls and finishes with a large helping of aplomb.

14. 78'

    Matt Taylor hits the wall not once but twice and Arsenal finally clear their lines through Fabregas who feeds Eduardo and Merida scores!

15. 77'

    Vermaelen is booked for handball and Bolton have a free kick of their own, a little further out but still central.

16. 76'

    Vermaelen takes it and is only a foot too high from making it 2-0. A moan goes up from the two of us in the office who have him in our fantasy leage side.

17. 74'

    McCann tangles with Merida, who had nipped in front of him, and Arsenal have a free kick 25 yards out and pretty central.

18. 73'

    Gael Clichy comes on for Rosicky.

19. 72'

    Klasnic is lucky not to get a booking after clipping Diaby not one but twice.

20. 70'

    Matt Taylor springs the offside trap and takes the ball down 25 yards from goal before trying an hurried effort when he had no-one near him. A curious decision.

21. 68'

    Bolton win a corner and as it is cleared a returnign header finds Klasnic offside, though the replay suggests he was level.

22. 67'

    Steinsson gives the ball away but manages to race back and halt Fabregas in his tracks down the left.

23. 66'

    Another ball into Bolton's box, this time from the right and Arshavin. Zat Knight's excellent clearing header prevents Eduardo again. Now Jasskenlainen dallies in the area and concedes a needless corner.

24. 65'

    Rosicky is fed by Merida and his cross is heading for Eduardo until Cahill gets a great touch on it.

25. 63'

    Arsenal change: Merida on for Eastmond.
