Premiership: Arsenal closes gap on Man Utd

A wonder goal from Robert Pires and a superb penalty save by David Seaman enabled Arsenal to keep the heat on leaders Manchester United and maintain their unbeaten away record in the Premiership.

Pires produced another goal out of the top drawer to double the Gunners lead after Seaman had saved Gareth Barry's spot-kick. The home side staged a late rally and reduced the arrears through substitute Dion Dublin but Arsenal held on to cut the Red Devils lead to one point, and they have a crucial game in hand.
