Sheffield United 1 Arsenal 1

England striker lan Wright staged a last-ditch smash and grab raid to snatch a point for Arsenal at Sheffield United. Dave Bassett’s side had looked well worth a win after 21- year old Dane Whitehouse hammered them into a 48th-minute lead. Arsenal had no answer to United’s lively midfield, were ineffective upfront and carved out just a couple of half-chances before Wright had the last word. Full-back Kevin Gage almost broke the deadlock in the 25th minute with a curling 20-yard shot fingertipped over the bar by Seaman. Whitehouse finally got the better of Arsenal three minutes into the second half after Adrian Littlejohn twisted round Nigel Winterburn. His low cross was headed on by Deane and the little winger stormed in to crack the ball into the roof of the net. The match ended 1-1.

Two goals by £1 million striker Chris Armstrong gave struggling Crystal Palace a shock first win of the season by beating Everton two goals to neel. The Londoners richly deserved their triumph against inconsistent Everson. who looked a shadow of the side that plundered a 3-2 victory at high-riding Blackburn on earlier in the week.
