Bolton made a decent fist of it and went ahead through Kevin Davies. Arsenal's response was swift and majestic. Emmanuel Eboue and Nicklas Bendtner turned the game on its head with two goals in two minutes. Then Denilson secured the points late on after another swift and decisive counter-attack.

Eboue's equaliser came after some intense pressure with Emmanuel Adebayor and Alex Song both hitting the post with their efforts.

It was Bolton who almost took the lead in the third minute with a wonderful piece of vision from captain Kevin Nolan but Manuel Almunia got back to tip his chip over the crossbar.

Bolton made the breakthrough in the 14th minute, Davies being first to react to Joey O'Brien's corner, heading the ball beyond Almunia for his third goal of the season.

Arsenal then hit the woodwork twice in the space of two minutes through Adebayor and Song as Bolton found themselves under siege.

The Gunners persistence paid off in the 26th minute with Eboue scoring at the near post after being set up by Bendtner.

They maintained their momentum two minutes later with Bendtner getting his reward for some unselfish work.

He got on the end of a cross from Denilson to give Arsenal the lead with his first Premier League goal of the season.

Denilson sealed the points three minutes from time, sweeping home a cross from Adebayor after another quick Arsenal break.
