Ten-man Arsene Wenger's side re-ignited their faint Barclays Premier League title hopes by coming back from 2-0 down to win 3-2 at Bolton.Two goals from Matthew Taylor either side of Abou Diaby's sending-off for a reckless challenge on Gretar Steinsson appeared to have given struggling Wanderers a much-needed boost.
However, in the second half William Gallas poked home a corner, before Robin van Persie equalised from the penalty spot after Gary Cahill had brought down Alexander Hleb and Jlloyd Samuel's own goal with seconds remaining capped a remarkable turnaround.
The result was just what Arsenal needed after going five league matches without a win, a run which appeared to have derailed their bid to catch leaders Manchester United.
It also ended Arsenal's remarkable run of not having won at the Reebok in the league since April 2002.
