United one point behind as Bendtner salvages a point for Arsenal

Manchester United were 30 seconds from regaining top spot in the Premiership this afternoon but a late Nicklas Bendtner goal salvaged a point for a lack luster Arsenal against Aston Villa.

Alex Fergerson in his post match interview had a pop at the Gunners quoting their ‘usual 7 minutes of extra time’, but this morning he won’t be too disappointed as he got team selection spot on as his side strolled past an all but relegated Fulham 3-0 at Craven Cottage.

Ronaldo, Rooney and Anderson were all rested ahead of the mid-week Champions league game against Lyon. Owen Hardgreaves started the scoring grabbing his first Untied goal with a 20 yard free kick, Ji-Sung Park headed in for a second before the break. A John O’Shae cross was deflected in by Simon Davies to make it 3-0 in the second half, Rooney and Ronaldo then were introduced so they could stretch their legs.

Meanwhile across London Aston Villa took the lead in the first half against Arsenal a Gabriel Agbonlahor cross was deflected past his own keeper by Senderos. Villa had chances to double their lead and even hit the bar. The home side looked hung over from the events of last week but rose to the occasion Adebayor nodding down a Cliche cross for Bendtner to fire in.

All this means is that Arsenal are one point clear putting the title race back into the hand of Untied and have no wins in the last 4 games, league and Cup.
