Manchester United away Liverpool at home and now Arsenal Away bson wand's 10day tour of title contenders concludes against the Champions who without Patrick Vieira threw suspension today Ray parlor returns some injury in his place Freddy youngberg back on Premiership duty while canu is preferred to Dennis burkham HRI just a place to be without the likes of Kevin Nolan and Ricardo Gardner whove joined the Bolton casualty list in the last week it means Ian campo's full debut is as a makesi Midfield player Michael riets is fit but starts on the bench from where he emerged to score a fine late equalizer here last [Music] season Bolton do enjoy their days out at the stately homes of English football just asked Manchester United they only lost in a photo finish to Liverpool last weekend a repeat of last season's Point here would be more than anyone has taken away from Hy for over 7 months I think the fixer against Brazil will just about round off the month for Sam Alise now you see it now you don't HRI hary was back there hel kindly for pedis in the end and it it would Tri the back of his SE and run away from him paror and Campo getting to know one another Camp curious that he didn't get the decision referee coulden it be closer a yellow card for Ivan camper paror has gone on cuts inside pick off the blocks into youngberg Freddy youngberg was being pulled back there by Goodley buron hey has been given tug of the shirt as ber threatened to escape the punishment does not end there for Goodley Berg's KN has shown a yellow card but wior pass was just coaxed into young fol who gone on the dangerous side of the Bon captain and then was grappled and manhandled to the ground us escalan fa his last season's Premiership leading goal scorer tier onri wipe your eyes pinch yourself he missed not by much the ascal went the wrong way but tier HRI Not For the First Time unsuccessful from the penalty spot a let off for Bolton B were tried to dumy it wasn't having it AR getting a taste of their own medicine here some good passing from Bolton shanson H all alone oh it's still dangerous tier HRI almost as glaring as the penalty Miss credit him for chasing the Lost Cause putting yasal and bergson Under Pressure creating a chance out of nothing for himself but having got that far you would have again backed HRI to score had a hip operation after the World Cup Arsenal weren't altogether happy about Sweden's handling of youngberg there there but breather he's had doesn't seem to have done him any harm he's fed hry here Third Time Lucky yes well we knew they would score they always score it's a matter of when and who rather than if with Arsenal and tierry hre having fail from the penalty spot and we're from close in beyond the goalkeeper gives arel the lead with a typical smooth flick champion move it's a wonderful pass Lauren in his tipto forward can wanted it early instead it's Ray paa again marvelous movement Arsenal pouring forward [Music] Charon par stolen a march on paror and got in AC cross which Seaman has lost and it's found the net extraordinary equalizer by Gareth fary and does the name Ronaldinho come to mind all of a sudden David Seaman caught cold a minute after the restart did he he mean it well you can see what Seaman thinks probably not but the Arsenal and England goalkeeper was beaten again from range and Gareth Farrelly has added his name to that of Ronaldinho and Naim in David Seaman's House of Horrors shoulder to shoulder is a throw in I think for Arsenal referee has given a free kick Campbell and Keon have joined the congregation will tour takes found a way through to tier HRI that didn't miss by much just couldn't quite get it to do enough in the air wanders know there will be more difficult moments to weather not quite as difficult now that they are on terms this is Ray paa Cano he's G away from Whit low Cano turned away on the goal line by buron hit by wil are fantastic still it almost defies gravity such a tall man to have such balance and control just unable to squeeze the scoring pass beyond Goodley buron D through the legs of fron but picked off by Campo now B with some part of his arm stopped campo's progress Camp felt an elbow and you can see how worked up he is about it Dennis bamp does have his moments and that's another of them it is the forearm rather than the elbow but wasn't too pretty was it and either side still capable of pitching a winner here Camp feeling the challenges anding with the ball and getting his free kick looking to get on with it as quick as he could too very frisky today Dennis he didn't expect to be watching the early part of the game from the bench referee's got his hand in his pocket so was some time wasting going on there now if it's Evan Campo it's big big trouble it's Camp who's been called to him and it's the end of the afternoon for Ian Campo dismissed by David PE and Bolton who survived more than half the match with 10 men here last year after a little over 10 minutes to go a man like this year AR were in a hurry get on with the free kick Campo had the ball and that's what he did just tossed it away blatant time wasting Bon will now sacrifice Yuri J in a holding operation which uh toing is purpose built for it's actually his uh first game since the Danes went out of the World Cup finals to England in Matata he's had a persistent foot problem now The Descent presumably initially by Campo and then following in OA as Bon wanders on the 10 yards now after all that can Arsenal exacts real punishment HRI time Stood Still there for a moment presumably it was close Fier nothing anybody could do but stand and watch and in Bolton's case hope maybe time for one blast attack Cole angled in towards rri Cano trying to reach it KO has reached it perfectly timed and there's the one you smiling hyb it belongs to the goalkeeper David Seaman reprieved with seconds to spare by canu well they pushed and they pushed and eventually they forced an opportunity which the long right leg of Cano reached out to take Bolton had held firm up until that point but Arsenal who have not been held on this ground by an english team since February are just in the kind of form where they cannot be held Jeffers back with the challenge now they look for more H re and are five pouring forward no question of Arsenal certainly for what they've got it's canu it's Jeffers it's jiden it's canu Jeffers stopped on the line an improbable finish Champion fighting Spirit from Arsenal bolon wanders who just don't seem to get a copy of the script when they face the Premiership Hoy fory almost embarrassed Seaman and the reigning Champions but Cano in the nick of time won the day for Arsenal and their Sublime progress continues two one winners at hybrid
