Charlton Athletic 1 - 1 Arsenal

Charlton Scorers:
Paolo DiCanio 27′ (pen)

Arsenal Scorers:
Theirry Henry 39′

Thierry Henry’s wonder-strike free kick from 22 yards out cancelled out Paolo Di Canio’s earlier penalty conversion, as Arsenal drew with Charlton 1-1 at the Valley on Sunday.

The point sends Arsenal back to the top of the Premiership table with 24 points, one more than Chelski, who beat Manchester City on Saturday, and two above ManUre, who lost to Fulham.

In fact, Arsenal remain the only unbeaten side in all of English football, a fact that makes their abysmal record against European competition that much more perplexing.

Arsenal now turn their attention to the Carling Cup, and 3rd round adversary, First Division side Rotherham Utd. Rotherham currently sit third from bottom in the First Division, so it should be interesting to see what kind of side Arsene Wenger sends out on Tuesday afternoon. The match kicks off at Highbury at 2:45 ET.
