Arsenal produced another late show at Emirates Stadium as Kolo Toure rescued a 1-1 draw against Middlesbrough - but it was not enough to send the Gunners back to the top of the Barclays Premier League.
After Manchester United beat bottom club Derby 1-0 earlier in the afternoon, Arsene Wenger's men knew only victory in the day's late kick-off would be good enough to remain ahead in the title race.
However, a goal from Jeremie Aliadiere against his old club in the 25th minute looked to be sending them to defeat following a determined defensive display by the visitors - until Toure nodded home with just four minutes left.
Boro finished the game with 10 men when substitute Mido was sent off for a high kick on Gael Clichy.
But with the margins for error at the top of the table so slim, a fourth successive draw in the Premier League could yet come back to haunt the Gunners.
