Arsenal 1-1 Leeds | The FA Cup 3rd Round - 08/01/11

Saturday, 8 January 2011 Arsenal v Leeds, R3, 12:45 Cesc Fabregas’s 90th-minute penalty rescued a draw for Arsenal and denied Leeds a shock FA Cup victory. The Gunners dominated for long periods but, against the run of play, Denilson fouled Max Gradel and Robert Snodgrass put Leeds ahead from the spot. Luciano Becchio went close to making it 2-0 but late Arsenal pressure paid off. Fabregas coolly slotted home after Ben Parker held back Theo Walcott and only a super Kasper Schmeichel save stopped Denilson winning it for the Gunners. It was a dramatic finish to a thrilling third-round tie and means Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is still yet to taste defeat to a lower-division side in the Cup, and has not lost at home in this competition since Arsenal were beaten by the same opposition in 1997. ----- tags Arsenal Gunner Gooners Leeds “leeds afc“ “leeds united“ “leeds united afc“ Millwall Lions Birmingham “Birmingham City“ Blackbu
