LONDON, Jan 9 (Xinhua) -- Czech international Thomas Rosicky's injury time goal salvaged a draw for Arsenal as the Gunners tied Everton 2-2 at home on Saturday.
In the other Premier League match on Saturday, Manchester United failed to take over leaders Chelsea as they only managed to bring one point back from Birmingham City.
Five out of seven Premier League matches on that day were called off due to freeze while Arsenal had to play Everton at a snowing Emirates.
As captain Cesc Fabregas is still healing from injury and Cameroon Alexander Song on national duty for the African Nation's Cup, Arsenal suffered a lot in the midfield.
Everton debutant Landon Donovan assisted for the visitors' opening goal as Leon Osman headed in the American player's corner after 12 minutes.
Arsenal fought back 16 minutes later when Croatian striker Da Silva Eduardo passed the ball back to Neves Denilson and the 22-year-old Brazilian saw his strike deflected off Osman to the goalmouth.
In the second half, Everton put themselves ahead again with ten minutes to go when Steven Pienaar calmly curled the ball over the hosts' goal keeper Manuel Almunia following Tim Cahill's dainty pass.
Substitute Rosicky turned up as the one to deny Everton's victory with his stoppage time shot came off Lucas Neill, but Arsenal could not be satisfied as they are now three points behind leaders Chelsea, but no longer have a game in hand on their rivals.
Man. United failed to go to the top after being held to a 1-1 draw at St Andrew's .
The defending champions paid a cost for their negligent defending on 39 minutes as they failed to clear a corner and finally gave Cameron Jerome the chance to slot homes from close range.
But the Red Devils were awarded a equalizer in the 63 minutes when Scott Dann turned in Patrice Evra's cross.
The goal was initially ruled out for offside against England striker Wayne Rooney but the referee finally overturned the decision of his assistant.
Darren Fletcher of Man. United was sent off for a second yellow with seven minutes remaining but Birmingham could not take advantage to snatch a winner.
Even though, Birmingham shouldn't be disappointed as they have set a new club record of 12 games unbeaten. Man. United are still one point behind Chelsea and the Blues have a game in hand to their rivals.
