The result was in front of everyone at Emirates Stadium when all of Arsenal fans hang their heads in shame. Arsenal produced another late show at Emirates Stadium as Kolo Toure rescued a point against Middlesbrough - but it was not enough to send the Gunners back to the top of the Premier League.

After Manchester United beat bottom club Derby 1-0 earlier on Saturday, Arsene Wenger’s men knew only victory in the day’s late kick-off would be good enough to remain ahead in the title race. All Gunner fans will curse Jeremie Aliadiere forever as he shot into the net against his old club. The 25th minute looked to be sending them to defeat following a determined defensive display by the visitors.

However, Toure nodded in with just four minutes left to earn a share of the spoils.
Thankfully the gunners bounced back and took a little control of the game and, Toure leveled with just four minutes left when his header found its way into the net after Schwarzer and substitute Andrew Taylor collided on the line.

Mido, who had only just come on after 79 minutes, was shown a straight red for kicking Clichy in the face as he went for a high ball. Boro finished the game with 10 men when substitute Mido was sent off for a high kick on Gael Clichy.
