The final whistle goes at the Emirates Stadium, and Arsenal lose ground on leaders Manchester United as they are held to a goalless draw by 10-man Blackburn Rovers. What a frustrating game for Arsene Wenger et al. Thanks for joining us!

Bendtner is afforded a free header inside the Blackburn box, but Salgado clears the ball off the line with his chest to show all of his experience with his positioning.
88'
Sagna again maraudes down the right at pace, but his cross is blocked away by the excellent Samba.
87'
Fabregas, after a very long delay, eventually steps up to take the set piece, only to tamely drill it straight into the wall - very poor!
86'
There are three men over the ball for Arsenal, with Van Persie and Fabregas the favourites...
85'
Arsenal are getting increasingly frustrated now as the hosts string together a series of passes, but Blackburn continue to defend stoutly.
84'
Sagna whips over a testing delivery which Chamakh meets, but Robinson pulls off a stunning save, despite the fact that the whistle goes to ensure it wouldn't have counted anyhow!
83'
Song hobbles off to the touchline with Arsenal unable to replace the midfielder, and we have a rather comical 'drop ball' now.
82'
Jermaine Jones wins a free kick in his own half following a foul by Song, and the Arsenal man comes off worse...
81'
Wenger is looking very anxiously at his watch as the Frenchman is rather helpless having made his three changes.
80'
STAT: Arsenal have won seven and lost just one of their last nine Premier League games against Rovers.

Samba makes a brilliant block to deny Chamakh after very fine work from Wilshere on the edge of the Blackburn box, and that gives everyone in the Emirates a lift!

RED CARD! Steven Nzonzi is shown a straight red card for a horrible two-footed lunge on Koscielny, and there is no doubt that was the right decision!
74'
Blackburn continue to battle very hard for the ball as Arsenal continue to keep possession.
