Middlesbrough inflicted Premier League Arsenal's first league defeat of the season with a 2-1 win at the Riverside on Sunday.
Defeat left Arsenal just a point ahead of second-placed Manchester United.
Stewart Downing, with a fourth-minute penalty, and Tuncay Sanli, with a close-range strike 16 minutes from time, scored for Boro.
Tomas Rosicky pulled a goal back for Arsenal in the fifth minute of stoppage time but there was barely time left for the ensuing kick-off before the final whistle blew.
The result meant Boro, who started Sunday in the relegation zone, had won only their third league game of the season.
