Arsenal’s Nicklas Bendtner must be thanking his stars he scored the winner against Bolton on Saturday, after it emerged that he leaked his squad’s line-up three hours before kick-off.

An unnamed source told The Sun that Bendtner had a chat with Bolton’s Fabrice Muamba – a friend from Bendtner’s days in the Arsenal youth ranks.

Muamba immediately passed the news on to Trotters manager Gary Megson, whose well-drilled team defended stoutly until Bendtner scored the only goal of the game in the last 10 minutes.
