Nicklas Bendtner came off the bench to head a dramatic stoppage-time
winner and keep Arsenal's Premier League title dreams alive with
a narrow 1-0 win over 10-man Wolves at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners - outplayed by Barcelona for large spells at home on
Tuesday night - made seven changes to their starting XI as manager
Arsene Wenger clearly had one eye on next week's Champions League
quarter-final second leg at the Nou Camp.
However, despite dominating the home side could not find a breakthrough
until deep into five minutes of stoppage time.
Wolves defended bravely and overcame the sending off of captain
Karl Henry for a late challenge on Tomas Rosicky only to be denied
when Bendtner headed in what could prove to be the young Dane's
most vital strike yet.
Bendtner also netted a last-gasp strike as the Gunners defeated
Hull last month.
The victory keeps Arsenal on the coat tails of Chelsea and Manchester
United with five games remaining.
