In England, Arsenal Wins on a Late Goal Arsenal scored with less than 10 minutes left in the game Saturday to defeat 10-man Queens Park Rangers at Emirates Stadium in north London, with Mikel Arteta scoring to clinch a 1-0 victory in England's Premier League. Arsenal had a man-advantage after Stephane M'Bia was sent off in the 80th minute, and Arteta fired home the game-winner four minutes later to halt a run of consecutive losses for the Gunners in the Premier League and Champions League. Midfielder Jack Wilshere also successfully returned after 17 months out of Premier League action as the Gunners climbed from ninth place to fourth. "I am very happy with the result, because we lost two big games and you could see the confidence was a bit jaded," Arsenal Manager Arsène Wenger said. But we were serious and we moved the ball quite well. We needed to be patient. Sometimes players with experience and quality give a lift. You could see technically Wilshere is there, and over all I think he gave absolutely everything. What he still misses is the pace of the game, the rhythm of the game. Q.P.R. remains in last place in the standings without a win after nine matches. In other games, Wigan beat West Ham, 2-1; Reading drew, 3-3, with Fulham; Sunderland held Stoke, 0-0; and Aston Villa drew, 1-1, with Norwich City. MáLAGA STAYS HOT Málaga remained in third place in Spain's La Liga after a 0-0 draw against struggling Espanyol in Barcelona. The result means Málaga is 4 points ahead of Real Madrid and Sevilla before their games Sunday. Málaga Coach Manuel Pellegrini rested several players after his team's midweek win over Milan in the Champions League. Málaga outplayed Espanyol in the first half, with defender Martin Demichelis coming close with a pair of headers at Cornella-El Prat stadium. Espanyol rarely challenged Málaga's defense, which remained the best in the league with only five goals conceded in nine games. In addition, Málaga has not allowed a goal in five Champions League matches. DORTMUND WINS IN THE SNOW Borussia Dortmund won, 2-0, at Freiburg to get its title defense back on track in Germany's Bundesliga despite difficult conditions. Heavy snow hampered both teams" efforts in a hard-fought game. Neven Subotic, a Serbian-American, scored in the 54th minute and Mario Götze made the game safe for Dortmund with seven minutes remaining. Jefferson Farfán's 77th-minute goal was enough for Schalke to complete a perfect week with a 1-0 win at home over Nuremberg. Schalke won the Ruhr derby against Dortmund last weekend and won, 2-0, at Arsenal in the Champions League. Wolfsburg won by 4-1 at Fortuna Düsseldorf in the first game for the interim coach Lorenz-Günther Köstner's since taking over for Felix Magath.

LILLE REBOUNDS Lille bounced back from its midweek Champions League defeat by beating Valenciennes, 2-1, in France's Ligue 1. Lille, which lost, 1-0, at home against Bayern Munich on Tuesday, made the perfect start when Valenciennes defender Gaëtan Bong turned the ball into his own net under pressure from Lille striker Nolan Roux in the second minute as they were both stretching for a loose ball. Valenciennes midfielder Carlos Sánchez was sent off in the 28th minute for picking up two quick yellow cards. Lille got its second goal just before halftime when forward Salomon Kalou broke free and passed wide to wing Dimitri Payet, who scored with a powerful low shot across goalkeeper Nicolas Penneteau. Anthony Le Tallec pulled a goal back for Valenciennes with 20 minutes remaining after a fine run and pass from midfielder Gaël Danic.
