Arsenal’s hopes of charming the English Premier League have come too ended after they lost 2-1 at Bolton Wanderers on Easter Sunday night.

Gunners come unstuck after controlling for long periods and escaped a Bolton Wanderers missed penalty, but concede two goals from set pieces. Last-Minute Tamir Cohen header sees Gunners to end title challenge at The Reebok Stadium

Scores and Highlights: Bolton Wanderers 2-1 Arsenal

Arsenal FC: Robin Van Persie (48′)

Bolton Wanderers: Daniel Sturridge (38′), Kevin Davies (pen miss 47′) and Tamir Cohen (90′)

Bolton Wanderers were the better team in the first half and took the lead when the striker Daniel Sturridge found the back of the net, after the defender Gary Cahill’s footer was blocked.

Arsenal FC’s have leveled the score in the second half of the game, when just seconds after the striker Kevin Davies missed the opportunity to put Bolton with 2-0 score up. In the mean time, with a mistakenly awarded penalty was saved, Gunners striker Robin Van Persie fired home from the edge of the box after he was set up by the captain Cesc Fabregas.

The last second of the 90 minute of the game Gunner’s title challenge ends, as good as moved out when Bolton Wanderers scored a dramatic late winning goal, with substitute Tamir Cohen heading home from a spot.

Tamir Cohen celebrated his goal by revealing a T-shirt in honor of his late father, who died in a motor-bike accident late last year and he was booked for doing so.

The result leaves the Arsenal FC nine points behind league leaders Manchester United with just four games left to play in this premiership series.
