Video And Report: Cesc Fabregas Returns As Arsenal Beat Bolton 2-0

Arsene Wenger’s side carved out a hard-fought 2-0 victory in a crucial fixture at Bolton on Sunday. If they do the same thing in the return game at Emirates Stadium in midweek they will go ahead of Chelsea and Manchester United.

Watch highlights of the match and goals also.

It could be a significant moment in their season.

It is highly appropriate that today’s result should put Arsenal in such a strong position because this was a title-winning kind of victory.

The visitors were under pressure for sustained periods of this game. Bolton, under new manager Owen Coyle, quizzed their opponents at the start of each half but Arsenal always had an answer. A well-worked goal from Cesc Fabregas gave them a vital lead in the 28th minute then, 12 minutes from time, substitute Fran Merida fired home a game-clinching second.
