Arsenal twice came from behind at a snowy Emirates to gain a fortunate point in the 2-2 draw with Everton. The Gunners failed to close within a point of leaders Chelsea as Everton deservedly shared the spoils with the North Londoner's, and will feel hard done by not to have left with the three points.
Leon Osman put the visitor's in front with a towering header from a Landon Donovan corner after only 12 minutes.
Arsenal were struggling with the conditions but drew level just before the half hour when Denilson's shot took a deflection off Osman to leave Tim Howard stranded.
A blizzard enveloped the ground after the break but still Everton looked comfortable and it was no surprise when they regained the lead with just nine minutes remaining.
Steven Pienaar beat the offside trap, raced clear and cleverly lifted the ball over the advancing Manuel Almunia.
But credit to Arsene Wenger's side for keeping going, and in the second minute of added time Thomas Rosicky's shot went in off Lucas Neill.
Arsenal now no longer have a game in hand over Chelsea.
