Arsenal knocked off top by United

A late Kolo Toure goal earned Arsenal a 1-1 draw against Middlesbrough at the Emirates Stadium, a result that saw Manchester United stay top of the Premier League

Both goals arguably should not have been, while Arsenal were denied an early opener by an incorrect offside decision. There was further controversy as referee Mark Halsey blew the final whistle with Arsenal preparing to take a corner, after substitute Mido was shown a straight red card for a high boot on Clichy, who required treatment for a cut head.

Scoring a goal that ultimately gives you a point against a title chaser is good, but my how sweet it is against the club that rejected you. OK, it was offside, but no-one in Boro cares...
