Arsenal held by 3rd-tier Leyton Orient
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 21 - 02 - 2011

LONDON: After beating Barcelona in midweek Arsenal was brought down to earth by third-tier London rival Leyton Orient, which held the Premier League club to a 1-1 draw in the FA Cup fifth round Sunday.
Orient substitute Jonathan Tehoue powered past Arsenal defenders Kieran Gibbs and Ignasi Miquel before striking under goalkeeper Manuel Almunia in the 89th minute to cancel out Tomas Rosicky's header.
The Gunners, who made 10 changes from the side which beat Barcelona 2-1 in the Champions League on Wednesday, now have to fit another fixture in their already congested program as they chase four titles.
Manchester City secured a more comfortable victory over another League One side Sunday, with Patrick Vieira's heading in two goals in a 5-0 rout of Notts County in a delayed fourth-round replay.
In Sunday's third FA Cup match, Bolton reached the quarterfinals by winning 1-0 at Fulham.
Bolton will travel to Birmingham on the weekend of March 12 and 13 after Ivan Klasnic scored his second FA Cup goal in four days.
Genoa stuns Roma
Roma's disappointing week worsened Sunday when it threw away a three-goal lead to lose 4-3 to Genoa.
Philippe Mexes, Nicolas Burdisso and Francesco Totti put Roma ahead, but Rodrigo Palacio and Alberto Paloschi scored a brace apiece to secure a remarkable comeback victory.
Serie A leader AC Milan needed a late goal from Alexandre Pato to return to winning ways with a 2-1 victory away to Chievo Verona. Milan appeared to be suffering from its midweek Champions League loss to Tottenham, but the young Brazilian came off the bench and scored his 10th goal of the season after Gelson Fernandes had canceled out Robinho's opener.
Also, Gianluigi Buffon was sent off as Juventus lost 2-0 to Lecce, while Lazio beat Bari 1-0 at home.
Other results were; Fiorentina 0, Sampdoria 0; Parma 2, Cesena 2; Udinese 0, Brescia 0.
On Saturday four Roma fans were arrested for throwing paper and smoke bombs outside the team's training center in response to consecutive losses to Inter Milan, Napoli and Shakhtar Donetsk.
Coach Claudio Ranieri said he would not walk away, but he is likely to come under further pressure to resign following this latest defeat.
Villarreal draws with Malaga
Villarreal was held to a 1-1 draw by last-place Malaga in the Spanish league Sunday.
Marco Ruben put Villarreal ahead in the 36th minute, tapping in a deflection of a shot by teammate Giuseppe Rossi. Malaga's Sebastian Fernandez finished off a counterattack led by Jose Rondon to split the points in the 82nd.
With the draw, Villarreal remained in fourth place, two points behind provincial rival Valencia.
Also, Javad Nekounam scored twice in Osasuna's 4-0 win over Espanyol on coach Jose Luis Mendilibar's debut, and Ivan Rakitic gave Sevilla a 1-0 win over Hercules.
Deportivo La Coruna goalkeeper Daniel Aranzubia scored in injury time to give his team a 1-1 draw at Almeria, and Racing Santander beat Getafe 1
