Robin Van Persie got the equaliser from the penalty spot as Man United picked a draw at Arsenal.

The Gunners had dominated the early stages and took the lead in the first minute as Theo Walcott was played in by Tomas Rosicky following a Van Persie error. 

Arsenal had chances to double their lead against a sloppy United side. But slowly but surely Alex Ferguson's side got back into the game.

And they got back on level terms just before half-time when Van Persie was fouled in the box by Bacary Sagna.

The Dutchman converted from the penalty spot against his former club.

Neither side was able to find a winner in an end-to-end encounter that leaves Arsenal fourth, one point above Tottenham.

The draw also means United can no longer beat Chelsea's Premier League points record.
