FT Arsenal 1 Bolton 1

Arsenal came from behind again at the Emirates Stadium to earn a replay as their FA Cup fourth-round tie with Bolton ended 1-1.

After a poor first half, skipper Kevin Nolan fired the visitors ahead on 50 minutes.

The Gunners upped the tempo and equalised through Kolo Toure with 12 minutes left, but could not find a winner.

In the 77th minute, Meite hauled down Fabregas just outside the box on the right and was cautioned.

The Spaniard sent over the free-kick himself which came off Gary Speed and fell into the path of Toure at the far post. The Ivorian defender dived full length to head the ball down and over Jaaskelainen to level.

Arsenal pressed again, with Baptista heading wide following a chipped free-kick by Fabregas.

Bolton sent on Ricardo Vaz Te for Stelios Giannakopoulos for the final six minutes.

Walcott was given a break as Jeremie Aliadiere came on, but the Gunners had to be content with a replay.
