Arsenal FC weathered a late storm from Manchester United FC at Highbury on Sunday to hold out for a 1-1 draw and enter the record books by becoming the first English team to remain undefeated in their opening 30 top-flight games.Late chanceThierry Henry's swirling 50th-minute strike from long range looked likely to give runaway leaders Arsenal all three points and edge them a step closer to snatching back United's Premiership crown but Louis Saha tapped in an 86th-minute equaliser to give the visitors hope. Ruud van Nistelrooij, who missed a last-gasp penalty when the sides drew 0-0 at Old Trafford earlier in the season, then sent a close-range header straight into the arms of Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann as United pressed for a late winner.Record eclipsedThe draw leaves United 12 points adrift of the London side in third place with just eight Premiership games remaining - and increases Arsenal's lead over city rivals Chelsea FC to seven points. Arsène Wenger's team also eclipsed the old record of 29 matches undefeated from the start of the season, jointly held by the Leeds United AFC side of 1973/74 and the Liverpool FC team of 1987/88.Precious pointLiverpool's current side edged ahead in the race for the fourth UEFA Champions League qualification berth by picking up a point on their travels against Leicester City FC in one of the day's other games. Elsewhere, Newcastle United FC lost 1-0 at the hands of Bolton Wanderers FC at the Reebok Stadium, Henrik Pedersen's looping effort providing the game's only goal, enabling Liverpool to clamber one point above Sir Bobby Robson's side in the table with their 0-0 draw. Leicester's failure to collect all three points meant they remained in the bottom three.Three defeatsArsenal have now played 50 matches in all competitions this season since their FA Community Shield defeat on penalties to United, following a 1-1 draw over 90 minutes.
