56'
Wenger is incredibly angry with the referee as he misses a clear corner kick and awards a goal kick instead.
55'
Walcott cannot quite latch on to a through ball from Song, with the delivery too firm.
54'
Arsenal stroke the ball around confidently at the back, and what a turnaround we have seen already.

Song is booked for clipping Lee on halfway, and that's another harsh yellow card from referee Jones.
51'
Arsenal go straight back on the attack through Nasri and Walcott in midfield.
49'
Van Persie's 19th goal of the season sees the Gunners draw level with Bolton, and what a start to the half it has been!

GOAL!!!!! VAN PERSIE SCORES! Arsenal go straight up the other end and score, with van Persie playing a slick one-two with Fabregas, before lashing a clinical finish beyond Jaaskelainen into the far corner of the net! It's his 17th goal in his last 17 games!
48'
The award of the penalty seemed very harsh with minimal contact made by Djourou, so perhaps justice was done.

Davies, who had scored all five of his attempts from the spot so far this season, plants a very tame shot straight at Szczesny, who makes a fine save with his legs!

The second half is underway, and just seconds after the restart Daniel Sturridge goes down under a challenge from Djourou and a penalty is given to Bolton!

Van Persie blasts it wildly over the crossbar, and with that comes the half-time whistle! Bolton lead 1-0 at the break with Sturridge having scored in the 38th minute to put his side in front! Can Arsenal respond? They simply have to!
45+1'
Muamba, who is on a booking already, rashly dives in on Nasri and gives away a free kick which is in a very dangerous position!

FABREGAS HITS THE POST! What a shot from the Arsenal captain, who unfurls a stunning low drive which has Jaaskelainen comprehensively beaten, but the ball comes off the post!
43'
Djourou wins a powerful header at the back for Arsenal, and the visitors have to defend with more conviction.
42'
It looks as it Cahill's initial header may have been over the line. Mind you, had Sturridge not followed up I doubt it would have been given.
41'
Arsenal again lose the ball as Wilshere is tackled by Steinsson, and Bolton are battling brilliantly.
40'
STAT: Bolton have lost just one of their last 11 Premier League games at the Reebok Stadium.
39'
What a goal for Bolton, and Arsene Wenger is absolutely furious on the touchline!

GOAL!!!!! STURRIDGE SCORES! If ever a man deserved a goal it was Sturridge, who dives to head into the empty net after Cahill's initial header is cleared off the line by Nasri! It's his seventh goal in nine games!

What a save from Szczesny! Sturridge again beats Koscielny before finding Lee, whose shot is brilliantly blocked away by the Arsenal keeper!
