Bolton 0 Arsenal 0: Gunners lose more ground as Wenger's woes increase

Arsenal missed the chance to close the gap on the Barclays Premier League's top four after being held to a goalless draw which gave Bolton another priceless point in their relegation battle. The Gunners dominated proceedings at the Reebok Stadium with Robin van Persie twice being denied by the woodwork but they failed to take a number of other chances.
