FULL TIME. Two goals from Yakubu and two own goals as Blackburn secure their first victory of the season. Arsenal are firmly in trouble though.
90+5'
Lowe clears for Blackburn as a dinked ball from Walcott threatens to sneak in.
90+4'
And Chamakh heads wide from a Walcott cross! Arsenal waste another great chance!
90+3'
Now Van Persie is denied in a late scramble! What a conclusion, and Arsenal have a late, late corner.

What a miss! Mertesacker gets to the ball at the back post when meeting a cross from Santos but the Germany international heads over!
90'
We will have four added minutes at Ewood Park.
89'
Yakubu is named man of the match by the PA announcer at Ewood Park and it is hard to disagree, even if his second goal was offside.
87'
Chamakh gets to a fine cross from Walcott and turns the ball back across the face of goal, only for Blackburn to clear. This will be a very nervy end to proceedings.

GOAL! 4-3 Blackburn! Chamakh gets between Givet and Dann to meet a fantastic cross from Van Persie to head home. Game on?
84'
A dismal attempt at a cross from Djourou and he holds his head in his hands.

Superb save by Robinson! He claws away a header from Van Persie after the Dutchman connects with an Arteta corner! Now Santos fires over.
81'
Arsenal win a corner as Walcott has a shot deflected wide off Samba.
78'
Nzonzi tests Szczesny with a curling effort. Olsson is then lucky to avoid a dismissal when tricking the ref with a clear dive having already been booked.
76'
Chamakh immediately calls Robinson into action with a fine save from a corner but is penalised for a push.

Marouane Chamakh is on to add more presence in the Arsenal attack, replacing Song.
75'
Robinson stretches to tip a header from Van Persie over the bar.
75'
If the score stays like this then Arsenal will be level on four points from five games with Blackburn. Rovers will be ahead on goal difference.
73'
How has this happened? Arsenal were in such control at half-time and to surrender so pathetically really is alarming.

Olsson was booked for his celebrations by the way.
