Bent snatches point for Black cats

Darren Bent left it late to deny 10-man Arsenal victory at Sunderland with a 95th-minute equaliser in a 1-1 draw at the Stadium of Light. The England international struck amid a goalmouth scramble as the Black Cats launched one final attack. Until that point, it looked as though Cesc Fabregas' freak goal would be enough to hand the visitors a hard-fought win. The Spaniard's 13th-minute block sent Anton Ferdinand's attempted clearance sailing over the head of stranded goalkeeper Simon Mignolet and into the net. But the Gunners had only themselves to blame after having midfielder Alex Song sent off for a second bookable offence 10 minutes after the break, while substitute Tomas Rosicky skied a 74th-minute penalty wastefully over the crossbar after Ahmed Elmohamady had tripped Samir Nasri.
