Premiership: Pires puts Gunners ahead

Arsenal 1, Derby 0 (latest)

Arsenal have gone ahead against Derby at Highbury.

The Gunners, who had dropped 17 points at Highbury before tonight, looked set for another frustrating Premiership result in north London.

But, having scored in every one of their previous 28 league matches, a goal was perhaps inevitable and it arrived 21 minutes from time.

Bergkamp controlled a high ball, spun and steered into Pires’ path, who surged through the Derby rearguard and into the area before poking past Oakes.

Elsewhere in the Premiership, a seventh minute David Dunn goal has put Blackburn Rovers a goal to the good against Aston Villa.

And Ireland's Jason McAteer scored just before the interval against troubled Bolton at the Stadium of Light.
