 Arsenal top after Rovers rollercoaster by Rupe

Arsenal (0) 3 - 3 (1) Blackburn Rovers
Highbury, Saturday 20th October 2001
FA Barclaycard Premiership

Despite some good attacking play in the first half Arsenal afield to break through.

Bergkamp came close a couple of times with curving shots from just inside the box, both of which just cleared the post on the wrong side. And Pires was unlucky not to get a penalty when Brad Friedel brought him down as Bob was coming in to pick up a rebound from the American keeper's block.

And with 5 minutes to go before halftime Keith Gillespie saw his shot squirm past Richard Wright thanks to a wicked deflection off Gio van Bronckhorst.

Arsenal came out fired up for the second half and within 10 minutes we were ahead. First Pires fired through a crowded box and 5 minutes later he did well to keep the ball in then found Bergkamp from the goalline. Friedel got to Dennis's powerful volley but couldn't keep it out.

But David Dunn equalised from 30 yards, again with a little help from a deflection.

Wenger brought on Wiltord and Kanu, without taking Henry or Bergkamp off. Wiltord was involved in our 3rd soon after as Dennis and then Sylvain combined to set up Henry, whose first touch took him past a defender and second went in low past Friedel.

But 2 minites from time it was Dunn again who finished the scoring, when the ball came to him after Wright had advanced to block Mark Hughes.

A disappointing result after having been ahead twice, but the point takes us above Leeds to the top of the table. Leeds are at home to Chelsea on Sunday.
