LONDON, Sept 21: An injury-time winner from Nwankwo Kanu gave champions Arsenal a dramatic 2-1 victory over 10-man Bolton Wanderers in the English premier league Saturday.

Liverpool moved into second place on 15 points after a 2-0 win over West Bromwich Albion, while Manchester United recorded a morale-boosting 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur thanks to a Ruud van Nistelrooy penalty.
