Arsene Wenger's side looked certain to cede more ground to Aston Villa in the race for Champions League qualification as they laboured against a makeshift Wanderers line-up.



But Bendtner on as a second-half substitute spared their blushes by expertly converting Robin van Persie's cross with just six minutes remaining.

Arsenal remain three points behind Villa in fifth place in the Premier League but Wenger will be grateful for small mercies as he seeks to salvage some pride from the domestic campaign.

Results:
Arsenal 1, Bolton 0u00a0
Aston Villau00a0 2, West Brom 1
Everton 2, Hull 0
Middlesbrough 1, Sunderland 1
Newcastle 2, West Ham 2
