| Former captain William Gallas came to Arsenal's rescue with a late
header in a 1-0 win against Portsmouth which keeps the Gunners in
the Premier League title chase.
The breakthrough came in the 82nd minute when David James flapped
at Denilson's free-kick and Gallas rose to head the ball into the
Pompey net.
The victory was barely deserved but it prompted a wave of Arsenal
attacks as they at last took control of a game they had struggled
to grasp for great swathes against a Portsmouth team which is going
through its own crisis of confidence under Tony Adams.
