LONDON - Arsenals flailing title hopes in the Premier League received a setback when it was held 1-1 at home by struggling Wolverhampton Wanderers on Tuesday, wasting a chance to move above London rival Chelsea into fourth place. Mackensie Alexander Vikings Jersey . With Robin van Persie - the leagues leading scorer with 16 goals - having a rare off-day, it was left to his strike partner Gervinho to break the deadlock in the eighth minute for Arsenal at Emirates Stadium. However, the hosts couldnt capitalize on their utter dominance and after Steven Fletcher equalized against the run of play in the 38th with his seventh of the season, Wolves held out for the final 17 minutes with 10 men following the straight sending-off of Nenad Milijas for a studs-first tackle. Draws on Monday by leader Manchester City, Chelsea and sixth-place Liverpool had left the door ajar for Arsenal to make up some ground but Arsene Wengers side dropped points at home for only the third time this campaign to stay fifth. Arsenal is a point behind Chelsea and 12 behind the top two, Manchester clubs City and United, after 18 games. "Theres going to be a lot of twists and turns but unfortunately we couldnt take advantage today. Thats the frustrating thing," Wenger said. "You have to take these chances." Wolves will thank Wayne Hennessey for preserving a point after the goalkeeper denied Van Persie several times. The Netherlands striker needs two goals to equal the Premier League record of 36 in a calendar year, set by Alan Shearer in 1995, but has just one match left - at home to Queens Park Rangers on Saturday - to achieve that. "It was the kind of game that if you played 20 times, you win 19 of them. Unfortunately this was the one time we didnt win," Wenger said. "Their keeper played the game of his life." Van Persie has struck up a good partnership with Theo Walcott but the England winger missed the game with a stomach bug and Arsenal missed his pace out wide. The midfield wasnt short of creativity, though, and playmakers Tomas Rosicky and Yossi Benayoun combined superbly on a counterattack for the first goal. Benayoun, making his first league start for Arsenal since his loan move from Chelsea in August, was found by Rosicky in space and the Israel captain threaded in a through-ball for Ivory Coast forward Gervinho, who rounded Hennessey to slot in his fourth goal of the campaign. Matt Jarvis was Wolves best outlet on the left wing but the visitors were being pinned back, meaning their goal came out of nowhere. Stephen Hunts shot from the edge of the area deflected into the path of the Fletcher and the Scottish forward stooped to direct a header into the bottom corner from eight yards (meters). With Wolves flooding the midfield with hard workers, Arsenal was being stifled and frustrated, even more so when Hennessey tipped over a curling free kick from Van Persie in the 65th, the first chance of many Arsenal in the closing stages. Milijas red card, for a lunge on Mikel Arteta, increased the pressure on Wolves although the 73rd-minute decision seemed harsh, with the Serbia midfielders foot remaining on the ground during the challenge. "If (the referee) sees it again, it cant be a sending-off," Wolves manager Mick McCarthy said. Van Persie, the leagues in-form striker this season, squandered a one-on-one chance when played through by Rosicky moments later. The Dutchman was then twice denied by Hennessey and Per Mertesacker had a header saved as the visitors just held on for only their fifth away point of the season. "It was the kind of day where we were not relaxed enough in front of goal. We wanted the win too much," Wenger said. Gareth Bale grabbed a second-half double as third-place Tottenham cruised to a comfortable 2-0 win over Norwich to keep the pressure on the Manchester clubs at the top of the Premier League on Tuesday. The Wales winger revived memories of his performances in the Champions League last season with an impressive individual display at Carrow Road, capped by goals in the 55th and 67th minutes. While his first was a simple close-range shot after good work from Emmanuel Adebayor, his second was more memorable, bursting through the middle before supplying a deft finish over goalkeeper John Ruddy. The win lifted Spurs to within seven points of Manchester City and Manchester United, with the London club still holding a game in hand. Queens Park Rangers salvaged a point from a 1-1 draw at Swansea in the other game on Tuesday. Fran Tarkenton Vikings Jersey . Sitting five points out of a playoff spot with only 10 games left on their schedule, the Canucks are in danger of missing the postseason in their first campaign under head coach John Tortorella. Chuck Foreman Vikings Jersey . -- Arizona raced out to a big lead and did not back off, hitting the accelerator instead. http://www.vikingsnflfansclub.com/Black-Friday-Kyle-Rudolph-Jersey/ . The team announced on Thursday that it had agreed to the players request for a release. ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- The Rochester Knighthawks are the National Lacrosse Leagues newest dynasty. Craig Point scored twice to lift the Knighthawks to a 3-2 victory over the Calgary Roughnecks in a 10-minute minigame after they had forced an extra session by winning Game 2 of the home-and-home set 16-10 in the Champions Cup final Saturday. The victory makes Rochester the first team to win three consecutive titles in the 28 years of indoor pro lacrosse. "This team has come a long way," said Point. "(General manager) Curt (Styres) has built this team for so long. "Weve been together as a family for three or four years now. Its such a good feeling, just awesome, to win three in a row." Joe Walters also scored for the Knighthawks after Shawn Evans and Curtis Dickson had staked the Roughnecks to a 2-0 lead in the minigame. "We just tried to keep our composure," Point said of the two-goal hole. "Everyone knew what they had to do. Our defence had to play strong and our offence had to keep moving the ball and moving our feet. It paid off. The openings came and we capitalized on them." Rochester improved to 11-0 at home since its last playoff loss in Blue Cross Arena, way back in 2004. Evans beat goaltender Matt Vinc from in close at 2:42, Curtis Dickson made it 2-0 with an underhand rocket while running across the middle of the zone at 4:40 and, after Calgary survived a penalty against Curtis Manning, Point scored for Rochester at 7:46. Most of the 9,188 fans were on their feet shouting for a tying goal, and Walters delivered. He sped across the middle of the zone and whipped a sidearm shot that goalie Mike Poulin got a piece of but could not stop from dribbling over the goal-line at 8:37. "If I took my shirt off, itd probably be wringing wet," Styres said of the minigame. Point scored with a bounce shot what would stand as the winning goal at 9:01. "All game, the coaches were saying, Go high, put it low, and thats what I did and sure enough it went in," Point said of the biggest goal of his career. Dan Dawson had a goal disallowed with 46 seconds left but the Knighthawks didnt need it -- not after Vinc made two scintillating saves in the dying seconds. "We never once panicked," said Rochester coach Mike Hasen. "We knew wed get our opportunities and we snuck er out." Vinc lauded Points heroics that decided the championship. "Hes one of those guys who has a knack around the net," said Vinc. "Hes a pure goal scorer. You cant give him time and room. He stepped up huge." Calgary had won Game 1 by a 10-7 count at home the previous Saturday to kick off the new format. "Weve got nothing to be ashamed of," said Calgary coach Curt Malawsky after Rochester players were presented with the Champions Cup. "Our guys battled. They competed hard. Rochester was better than we were in Game 2 and the minigame could have gone eiither way. John Sullivan Vikings Jersey. We were two minutes and 14 seconds away from being successful. Its a tough pill to swallow." In Game 2, Dan Dawson, Cody Jamieson and Stephen Keogh scored three goals each, Cory Vitarelli got two and Walters, Paul Dawson, Scott Self, Jon Sullivan and Point had one each for Rochester. Dickson and Jeff Shattler scored three each and Evans, Dane Dobbie, Daryl Veltman and Scott Ranger added one each for Calgary. Dan Dawsons absence due to a concussion was a contributing factor in the Game 1 loss in Calgary and the return of one the sports premier playmakers injected much-needed oomph into the offence. He didnt get a doctors OK to play until just before game time. "I couldnt get cleared for the first game and it was heartbreaking," said Dawson. "I pushed it and thank God weve got an amazing training staff and doctors who got me ready for this game." With Dawson back in the lineup, Styres was optimistic. "It was a relief," said Styres. The Roughnecks also jumped to a 2-0 lead in the full game, but the score was tied at three after one quarter. Calgary went up 6-4 but Rochester led 7-6 at halftime. Knighthawks defenceman Paul Dawson meanwhile was doing an effective job on Dobbie. The lefty was a 51-goal scorer during the regular season and had 11 more in the playoffs coming in but he wasnt getting many possessions with Dawson constantly on his right shoulder. Vitarelli, with a sensational over-the-back goal, and Paul Dawson, with an end-to-end run, struck early in the third quarter. The Knighthawks kept the pressure on, even while down a man, to get their sixth straight goal. Self made it 10-6 when he intercepted a Veltman pass in his own end while killing a penalty and ran the floor to beat Poulin on a breakaway. Calgary ended Rochesters run by scoring three times in the last five minutes of the third quarter to edge within 10-9 but Rochester went on another run to ensure the win and force the minigame. "We just werent able to seal the deal on the defensive end," Roughnecks captain Andrew McBride said after his team allowed the final three goals of the NLL season. "Its tough to swallow that one," said Evans. "A couple of bounces didnt go our way and we didnt capitalize on power plays. "When all is said and done, we played hard to the end. Unfortunately, we came up one goal short. Its tough." NOTES: Rochester had an 11-9 edge in shots on goal in the minigame, while Calgary had a 48-46 shots edge in the full game . . .
