Play by play

Wilshere heads over to the Arsenal fans and throws his shirt into the crowd - he's the only one left on the pitch. It was a typical Arsenal display, silky and smooth, but not potent enough. They are nine points behind Manchester United now and gone.

Five minutes added....
- 91'
Cohen took off his shirt to reveal a picture of Avi Cohen, his dad, who died recently after a motorbike accident. A very emotional celebration.

It's getting desperate for Arsenal now. Tension from their fans and from the touchline. Can they deliver?
- 80'
Elmander, who has been peripheral at best, tries a shot from 40 yards. A waste.
- 79'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> A very nasty one for Robinson, who is usually the one dishing out the reducers, Chamakh slipped into him and is carded. Clumsy, not malicious.
- 78'
More comedy from Wenger as he slams the ball into the turf after a throw in call goes against him.
- 77'
Van Persie's header is over the bar.
- 76'
Great Arsenal break as Van Persie finds Arshavin, he runs into the area and swings left but his cross is blocked. Corner.
- 75'
A Fabregas free kick is cleared, then Van Persie's follow up cross is headed clear. Now Nasri is over the top again, but wide and his attempted pass is right at Jaaskelainen. He had time....
