Swindon remained at the foot of the table but moved level on points with Sheffield United, two points from safety, while Coventry stayed 12th.

2011: Newcastle United 4-4 Arsenal

Newcastle United miraculously fought back from four goals down to earn a draw with Arsenal, denting their visitors' title hopes.

Theo Walcott scored after just 44 seconds, and Johan Djourou and Robin Van Persie then gave the Gunners a 3-0 lead with only 10 minutes played.

Van Persie made it 4-0 in the 26th minute, but Abou Diaby's dismissal early in the second half allowed Newcastle back into the contest.

Joey Barton converted penalties either side of a Leon Best goal and, in the 87th minute, Cheick Tiote completed the comeback with a 20-yard equaliser.

Second-placed Arsenal moved within four points of leaders Manchester United, but missed the chance to narrow the gap further. Newcastle ended the day in 10th.
