Gunners hit by late goal
Arsenal were hit by a stoppage-time equaliser as AZ Alkmaar earned a 1-1 draw in the Champions League Group H clash.[LNB]Cesc Fabregas' first-half strike had looked to be enough to secure a third straight European victory, which would have all but secured Arsenal a place in the knockout stages.[LNB]Alex Song intercepted a stray pass from Niklas Moisander, before feeding Andrey Arshavin who put Robin van Persie in on the left side of the penalty area. Unselfishly, the Dutchman drew the goalkeeper, before squaring to Fabregas who slotted home.[LNB]However, the Dutch side, managed by Ronald Koeman, refused to give up and snatched a point at the death through Mendes Da Silva.[LNB]Da Silva blasted in from close range on the volley after Hector Moreno's ball into the box had been flicked on by substitute Graziano Pelle.[LNB]Carlos Vela looked to have a strong penalty claim denied when he appeared to be tripped by Kew Jaliens after darting in from the left channel.
