Aston Villa's fight for Champions League qualification was given
a significant boost as Zat Knight rifled home an injury-time equaliser
to rescue a well-deserved 2-2 draw against Arsenal.
Martin O'Neill's side had battered the Londoners throughout the
first half but somehow found themselves two goals down only to mount
a superb fightback.
Goals either side of half-time by Denilson and Abou Diaby for Arsenal
were not a fair reflection of the game and, after Gareth Barry's
penalty pulled a goal back, Knight smashed home a stoppage-time
leveller to maintain Villa's three-point lead over the Gunners.
