A last-minute Andy Gray penalty earned Sheffield United a deserved replay in a pulsating FA Cup fifth round tie at Highbury.Gray converted the spot-kick after Philippe Senderos was adjudged to have handled Danny Cullip´s goal-bound flick with just seconds remaining of normal time. Substitute Robert Pires appeared to have saved Arsenal from a replay in Yorkshire with a 78th-minute opener.Arsene Wenger´s side had struggled to overcome the loss of Dutchman Dennis Bergkamp, who was sent-off for shoving Cullip. Arsenal had plenty of possession but until Pires tucked away his chance, United ´keeper Paddy Kenny had repelled all they had to offer.
