Arsenal missed the chance to go four points clear at the top of the Premier League after they were held to a goalless draw by struggling Wigan at the JJB Stadium on Sunday.
The Gunners now lead Manchester United by two points at the top of the table but Sir Alex Ferguson's side have a game in hand.
Emmanuel Adebayor had the Londoners' best chance inside the first minute but Latics goalkeeper Chris Kirkland made a smart save to deny him.
For Wigan, the point took them up to 13th, but still only three above 18th-placed Bolton, who have played a game less.
Everton maintained their push for the fourth Champions League spot with a 1-0 win at Sunderland.
Andrew Johnson got the only goal for the Toffees 10 minutes into the second half when Mikel Arteta's left-wing cross ricocheted in off his arm.
The result leaves Sunderland still in danger at the wrong end of the table in 16th, while Everton are behind fourth-placed neighbours Liverpool only by virtue of goal difference.
Tottenham bounced back from disappointing defeats to Birmingham and PSV Eindhoven with a 4-0 win over West Ham at White Hart Lane.
Dimitar Berbatov set Spurs on the right track with a brace of headers and Hammers striker Luis Boa Morte was sent off just before the break.
Gilberto added a third goal after coming off the bench and Darren Bent headed Spurs' fourth.
