A man has suffered serious burns after an unknown substance was thrown at his neck and torso, police have said.

The 36-year-old man was attacked in an alleyway, between Cranley Road and Bayswater Road, in Barton, Oxford at about 20:45 GMT on Saturday.
His injuries are not thought to be life-threatening. Police said it was a "highly unusual and isolated" attack.
No details have been released about the offender but officers have appealed for information.


Politicians are calling for bus company Arriva to rethink planned service changes in Wrexham, claiming they act as a "lifeline" for some communities.

It has announced revisions to 10 services from 25 June, with some being rerouted, affecting Coedpoeth, Penycae, Rhostyllen, Llay and other areas.
Local MP Susan Elan Jones and AM Ken Skates have written to Arriva and are calling on Wrexham council to step in.
Arriva has been asked to comment.
Mr Skates said: "In Penycae, these changes will see key areas such as the Afoneitha estate hugely affected, and people fear they will be completely cut off.
"Arriva has stated that long-running parking issues hindering access to the estate have contributed to its decision, so I would implore Wrexham council to act as a matter of urgency."
Wrexham councillor David A Bithell, lead member for environment and transport, said: "These are commercial decisions taken by Arriva and the council unfortunately has no power to prevent them going ahead."


Tanzanian rapper Emmanuel Elibariki, known as Nay wa Mitego, has been released just a day after he was arrested for releasing a song deemed insulting to the government.

The song emerged last week and has been widely shared on social media.
One line in it asks: "Is there still freedom of expression in the country?" and refers to a "doctor" who can't tolerate criticism.
The information minister said President John Magufuli "loves" the song.
He also suggested that it be "improved" to take on other issues, such as tax evaders, corrupt businesspeople and drug traffickers, said Information Minister Harrison Mwakyembe.
Nay wa Mitego's arrest came days after President Magufuli warned media to be careful about exercising freedom.
"Media owners, let me tell you: 'Be careful. Watch it. If you think you have that kind of freedom - not to that extent,'" Mr Magufuli said.
Police earlier said the rapper would be questioned "for releasing a song with words that malign the government".
He was reportedly held at a hotel in Morogoro, before being transferred the 190km (120 miles) to the commercial capital Dar es Salaam.
Other lines in the song said: "Who are you now? Don't you want to listen to advice? Don't you want criticism?"
The lyric is addressed to someone he calls "a doctor specialising in lancing boils".
The phrase "lancing boils" has been used repeatedly by Mr Magufuli to refer to people he deems obstructive.
Mr Magufuli, who came to power in 2015, presents himself as a no-nonsense man of the people, unafraid of sacking corrupt or incompetent officials.
Recent opinion polls have suggested he is popular, but critics accuse him of an impulsive style of governing and being intolerant of dissent.
Another line in Nay wa Mitego's song goes: "I see you handed a club to a madman," which has been interpreted as referring to an official appointed by the president who has been accused of heavy-handed behaviour.
The BBC's Sammy Awami in Dar es Salaam says the rapper is popular for his scathing lyrics, attacking not only the government but even his fellow artists.
On his social media accounts he uses the name "NayTrueboy", saying he always speaks his mind and tells the truth.


Chelsea's Eden Hazard has been voted the Football Writers' Association player of the year, adding to the PFA award he won in April.

The 24-year-old Belgium attacker collected 53% of the votes from the 300-plus journalists who were polled.
Tottenham striker Harry Kane finished second, while Blues team-mate and captain John Terry was third.
Hazard, who signed for Chelsea in 2012, scored 20 goals in all competitions this season for the champions.
FWA chairman Andy Dunn, of the Sunday Mirror, said: "The list of truly world-class players on the Football Writers' Association roll of honour is a long one and Eden Hazard is a worthy addition.
"A creator, a goalscorer and the hardest of workers, Hazard has been a constant source of threat for the Premier League champions."


As the world mourns the death of Canadian singer, songwriter and poet Leonard Cohen, tributes have been pouring in.

His lyrics had a profound effect on many people's lives - from meeting him on a beach on a Greek island, to bursting into tears in his presence.
Here are some of your memories:
Nick Garrie is a singer-songwriter who opened for Leonard Cohen in Spain in 1985.
"He was a mentor and completely changed the way I sang. He told me I needed to listen to the audience. It's uncanny that I wrote about him only recently on my Facebook page.
"He was wearing the black suit even then and was unfailingly polite and solicitous. He saw our little changing room and was horrified and moved us to his enormous dressing room.
"After the show, which he said was his best ever, he asked me how I got to be number one in Spain. I said I didn't know and he said he didn't either. His albums just washed up on different seashores in Europe.
"He came to the Spanish guitarist with some champagne. When I told him he didn't drink, he replied 'He does now' and poured it down his throat!
"It's funny to think that the man with the golden voice taught me how to sing and listen to an audience."
Denise Hayes in Stourport-on-Severn met Leonard on holiday on the Greek island Hydra.
"It was the early 70s. He would sunbathe on rocks close to where I was with my friends. He'd quietly arrive with his towel, a book and sometimes a beautiful woman or two.
"I was only in my early 20s and wasn't aware of how famous he was. As a joke, my older friends sent me to talk to him and ask him what he did for a living.
"He took my interruption with good grace and - with a wry smile and a twinkle in his eye - said in his very distinctive languorous and low voice: 'Oh, I write a little, I sing a little'."

Jordan Peers was 21 years old when he met Leonard Cohen in a Leeds supermarket four years ago.
"I spoke to him and he was incredibly polite and humble. I'd like to say I said something deeply profound and meaningful to him but instead I cried and mumbled how much I loved his work.
"He shook my hand gave me an autograph to give to my mother. I saw him play live the next day and he was incredible."
Al MacDonald, in Largs, Scotland, who was an art student, took a photo of the singer when he was invited into his dressing room after his concert in Glasgow in 1970.
"There was virtually no security back then. He was busy with his band and backing singers smoking and drinking. Leonard saw me, came over and introduced himself.
"He wanted to know about me. I was in awe. It was like meeting God. I still remember his quiet charisma and gentle vibe. It was spiritual.
"He was an incredible wordsmith. He put a lot of complex emotions in simple phrases. The man is a legend who touched many lives."
Paul Baker, from Stenning in West Sussex, works for a company that arranges world tours and met Leonard when he was touring in Denmark.
"I'm really sad to hear the news. I joined him for three sections of his world tour in 2012. You could not wish to meet a kinder, gentler and funnier man.
"He invited me on board his tour bus and I chatted with him and the band, who all made me very welcome, on the way to the hotel in Denmark.
"He had time for everyone, the fans waiting outside the hotel and the people at the airport. He was kind and polite beyond belief. He did not do 'celebrity'. A true gentleman in every way."
Andrew Gryn attended an auction at Joe Morena's St-Viateur Bagel Shop in Montreal where Leonard Cohen was signing everything anyone requested.
"The money raised was going to the Montreal Children's hospital Foundation. My collection of Leonard Cohen CDs was autographed and donated. I kept the vinyl.
"As Joe and I said goodbye, Leonard got up and said 'Let me hold the door for you'. It might have been a normal act of a gentleman, but to the two of us it felt very spiritual and mystical.
"May your body rest and your spirit fill the hearts of mankind. May you hold the door open for many a soul."

Hundreds of NHS hospitals are hosting adverts for personal injury lawyers, marketing agencies have told the BBC.

The companies, which place the adverts on patient advice leaflets, say NHS trusts are paid up to £200,000 a year, with some using the money to cover staff overtime and buy heart monitors.
Some hospitals are also given gifts of items like uniforms and tea trolleys.
The Department of Health says its discourages the adverts, but it is ultimately for trusts to decide.
NHS England has declined to comment.
Legal claims against NHS clinical services rose last year by 27% to £1.48bn.
Advice cards
Blackpool-based BOE Publishing and Pro Vision Systems, in Lytham St Annes, are two of the leading providers of NHS patient advice cards.
The companies have contracts with hospital trusts across the UK - including in Blackpool - to provide racks of cards in accident and emergency wards, giving information on problems such as head injuries and nose bleeds.
The front of the cards are branded with the logos of the NHS and the local trust and the reverse show adverts, most commonly for personal injury lawyers.
One senior NHS manager described the leaflets as "ethically, not ideal," adding: "You know we're not the only ones doing this."
Pro Vision Systems has told You and Yours it has over 200 NHS contracts to supply and maintain the A&E unit racks.
BOE Publishing claims to be contracted to 129 sites in addition to other NHS supply agreements.
Visitors to the Royal Lancaster Infirmary, which carries the leaflets, expressed confusion at who had published them and one person described them as "very misleading."
University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Trust declined to comment.
'Royalties'
Pro Vision Systems says its "royalty" payments to NHS trusts vary from a few thousand pounds per annum up to £200,000, with contracts lasting an average of eight years.
"The only advertisers who will spend the money required to fund this free service are personal injury lawyers," Pro Vision told You and Yours.
"Certain hospital A&E departments, especially around the North and Midlands, can generate very large numbers of claims.
"Companies have been played off against each other not just to provide the best advice cards and service, but to create income for the trusts."
The company says some hospitals are increasingly reliant on the extra revenue.
"We know two trusts have used this money to pay months of overdue overtime.
"In one case, an A&E department which only had three heart monitors used the money we provided to buy eight new ones."
BOE Systems offers cash and equipment donations to many of the hospitals it supplies.
Recent gifts include "scrubs" uniforms and catering trolleys.
Litigation
With total payouts for clinical claims hitting £1.48bn in 2015-16, legal firms' costs have also risen to an average 55% of the total claim value, where damages are below £100,000.
However, both BOE Publishing and Pro Vision Systems have defended the record of the no win, no fee industry.
The companies say their contracts prevent lawyers from suing the hospitals in which they advertise.
They also point to the NHS Injury Costs Recovery scheme, which aims to claw back the cost of NHS treatment where personal injury compensation is paid.
Between 2015-16 the scheme collected £197m from third party insurers.
BOE Publishing, in particular, also sees trouble ahead for the industry, due to the government's continued crackdown on small claims injuries such as whiplash.
"Due to the government's decimation of the field of personal injury law we expect the proportion of legal firms in our adverts to drop over the next 1-2 years to less than 25%."
'Surprised'
In 2012 the former Chief Executive of NHS England, Sir David Nicholson, wrote to NHS trust leaders warning that legal adverts in hospitals could "undermine the relationship between NHS staff and their patients and therefore should not be supported".
The Department of Health told You and Yours: "NHS bodies should not consider advertising personal injury or claims management services and equipment should be funded from a sustainable funding source," said a spokesperson.
"However, this form of advertising is a matter for individual trusts."
Commons Health Select Committee Chair Dr Sarah Wollaston takes a tougher line.
"I think people will be surprised about this considering the costs of NHS litigation," she said.
"This process is encouraging people to make a claim they they might not otherwise have done."
Both NHS England and the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers declined to comment.

NI Secretary James Brokenshire will emphasise that Northern Ireland is open for business during a two-day visit to the US.

He is due to meet business leaders in New York.
He will also have bilateral meetings with senior political figures, including former US Senator George Mitchell and President of the Council on Foreign Relations Richard Haass.
Mr Brokenshire will provide updates on the UK government's priorities in NI.
The Northern Ireland Office (NIO) said these included "political stability, economic prosperity and keeping people safe".
He will also highlight ongoing engagement between the UK government, Irish government and the NI Executive in the wake of the vote for Brexit.
Mr Brokenshire said US investors and businesses would find "outstanding opportunities in Northern Ireland and the United Kingdom as a whole".
He said he was determined to "maintain and strengthen the unique relationship between the UK, Ireland and the US which is founded on centuries of shared history, geography and trade".
"Hard-won political stability makes Northern Ireland an outstanding place in which to invest and do business."
"In New York I am making clear to US partners that the UK government is doing everything possible to build on recent progress and create the right conditions for an even brighter future.
"This is a timely visit. The decision of the people of the UK to leave the EU is one of the most significant acts of British post-war history and we are determined to make a success of it.
"As we build on our strengths as an open, dynamic trading nation and forge a new global role, the enduring relationship with our friends and partners in America will be crucial."
Mr Brokenshire is expected to highlight the expertise of Northern Ireland firms during his meeting with US business leaders.
The US is Northern Ireland's number one foreign direct investor and is "an important trading partner, accounting for over a fifth of Northern Ireland's exports in 2015", said the NIO.


Members of the public have been urged to give their views on the Scottish government's draft independence bill as the consultation enters its final week.

The draft bill proposes rules that would govern any future referendum, largely mirroring those put in place for the vote in 2014.
A public consultation on the proposals will close on 11 January.
Constitution Secretary Derek Mackay said the option of Scottish independence "must stay on the table".
It would be up to Westminster to grant the power to hold another vote - and pro-Union opposition parties at Holyrood have said any attempt to hold a second referendum would be "reckless" and risked causing further uncertainty for business.
But First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has insisted voters north of the border should be given the chance to consider the issue afresh after the EU referendum, which saw the UK as a whole vote for Brexit, while a majority in Scotland wanted to remain.
Ms Sturgeon has published proposals aimed at protecting Scottish interests in Europe, which include options to allow Scotland to remain in the single market even if the rest of the UK leaves and the transfer of significant powers to Holyrood.
But she has also stressed the Scottish Parliament must be able to consider the option of an independence referendum "if it becomes clear that it is the best or only way of safeguarding Scotland's interests".
Mr Mackay argued that the EU referendum result represented a "material constitutional change" that meant that the option of independence "must stay on the table".
He added: "Any decision on holding a referendum is for the Scottish Parliament. Our intention is that the bill is ready for introduction should the Scottish government decide that a referendum on independence is the best or only way to protect Scotland's interests.
"It is important that any future referendum on independence would meet the gold standard in terms of fairness, transparency and propriety set by the one in 2014 - and I'd encourage anyone with an interest to give us their views before the consultation closes next week."
It follows a BMG poll for the Herald newspaper which suggested that, when those who are unsure are excluded, 61.5% are against holding a fresh vote in 2017, compared to 38.5% who support it.
Excluding "don't knows", the poll put support for an independent Scotland at 45.5%, almost identical to the result in 2014.
It was the latest in a series of polls to suggest that the Brexit vote has not led to a major increase in support for independence.
Scottish Conservative constitution spokesman Adam Tomkins MSP said any attempt at a re-run of the 2014 referendum was "desperate and risks causing even further uncertainty across the country for workers and businesses".
He added: "Repeated polls have now shown a majority do not want a second vote on this. It's time Nicola Sturgeon respected that."
Scottish Labour's Europe spokesman Lewis Macdonald MSP said: "There should not be a second independence referendum and there will be absolutely no support from Labour for the SNP's reckless plan.
"Scottish Labour is very clear that we want the UK to retain access to the EU single market to protect jobs and the rights of workers in Scotland. But the most important single market to Scotland is the UK."
Ross Greer of the Scottish Green Party said rights for Scots could only be secured if Scotland was an "independent nation with the European Union".
The MSP explained: "Scotland did not vote to leave the European Union and we should not be forced to choose the least worst of the options available.
"The challenge for those of us in the Yes movement is to be ready with the answers on currency, the economy, pensions and any other area where the No campaign has sown doubt or where the Scottish government's 2014 proposals were not strong enough."
Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie said: "With all the problems the SNP government faces it stills finds the time to drone on about independence.
"It also shows that the SNP are only using the European Union as a device to advance their independence obsession."


The US is sending special forces to Syria to assist anti-government rebels in fighting the so-called Islamic State (IS), officials have said.

There will be "fewer than 50" forces deployed in the region to "train, advise and assist" vetted opposition forces, said officials.
This will be the first time US troops are working openly on the ground in Syria.
But there have been US special forces raids on IS militants there.
A senior administration official told the BBC this does not signal a change in US strategy but an "intensification" of the campaign.
"Our role fundamentally and the strategy is to enable local forces but does that put US forces in harm's way? It does, no question about it," Defence Secretary Ash Carter later told reporters.
However, Russia's foreign minister warned that the move increased the risk of a "proxy war" developing in the region and urged greater co-operation between the US and Russian militaries.
"I am convinced that neither the United States nor Russia of course want any kind of slide into a so-called proxy war," said Sergei Lavrov, speaking after talks with US Secretary of State John Kerry and UN envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura in Vienna.
For more than a year, the US and coalition forces have been carrying out air strikes against IS, which controls a large part of northern Syria and parts of neighbouring Iraq.
The US recently abandoned its Syria rebel training effort, opting to provide equipment and arms directly to rebel leaders instead.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said President Obama wanted to provide additional support for Syrian rebel fighters who had been having success on the battlefield.
"There are now moderate opposition forces that are 45 miles (72km) outside Raqqa," he said. "The president is prepared to intensify the elements that have shown promise."
He added: "This is an intensification of a strategy he discussed a year ago."
The numbers are small, nonetheless the US decision represents a notable shift in US policy. Their mission will be "to help co-ordinate local ground forces and coalition efforts" against IS in northern Syria. In all likelihood they may fight alongside Kurdish forces who have been the most effective of Washington's local allies.
"Co-ordination" could well mean forward air controllers; teams trained in the skills of linking up tactical air power with troops on the ground; designating targets and calling in strikes. The fact that the US now has specialised A-10 ground attack aircraft reasonably close by at the Turkish air base of Incirlik may also be significant.
This is a small step intended not least to reassure Washington's unsettled allies in the region. The drift in US policy has become even more apparent since Russia's muscular intervention from the air. But to be convincing the US may need to do a good deal more and that seems to be at variance with President Obama's basic instincts.
This week talks are being held in Vienna involving Iran, Syria's ally, for the first time.
The summit seeks to close the gap between the US and its allies, who support the rebels, and the key foreign allies of the Syrian government, Russia and Iran.
World leaders say progress has been made in the "historic" talks to resolve Syria's civil war, but they continue to differ on the fate of President Bashar al-Assad.
'Progress made' in Syria talks
If not Assad, then who?
US special operations forces have previously taken part in at least two raids in Syria.
In May, troops killed senior IS member Abu Sayyaf and captured his wife in eastern Syria.
And last summer, forces failed in an operation to rescue American hostages including journalist James Foley, who was later beheaded by IS fighters.
Last week, American forces assisted Kurdish troops in the rescue of dozens of hostages held by IS in Iraq. One American was killed in the raid.


Thursday's EU action plan with Turkey aimed at halting the flood of migrants is welcomed enthusiastically by Turkish pro-government newspapers, with commentators hailing what they see as concessions wrung from Brussels.

But opposition commentators voices scepticism at what they see as a dubious bargain, with one even describing it as "indecent".
Pro-government daily Aksam presents the action plan as a success, with the online headline "U-turn from Merkel, Turkey is getting what it wants".
The paper goes on to welcome the "critical decisions" made by EU leaders in Brussels
Another pro-Erdogan newspaper, Yeni Safak, quotes EU sources as describing Turkey's help in the refugee crisis as "vital for a long term solution to the crisis".
Writing in pro-government Sabah, Seref Oguz, agrees with this assessment.
"The EU, which is growing old and losing pace, is now ready to hear what we are saying," the commentator says.
"The refugee card is the biggest foreign policy tool for us and, with the conscious strategies that we will put behind it, could fundamentally wipe out all the sanctions that the EU is applying to us."
Murat Yetkin in centre-left Radikal voices cautious approval of emerging signs of co-operation.
"A consolidation of EU-Turkey relations is necessary, first of all, for the development of democracy in Turkey, and then for the sake of mending the economy," he argues.
But Mustafa Kartoglu in centre-right, pro-government Star feels Turkey should be wary of the conditions on offer.
"In a nutshell, the EU wants the refugees to stay in Turkey instead of coming to them," he says. "And for that it does not want to take any burden - or just a little bit."
He adds that Turkey too "wants the EU to take part of the burden, speed up membership talks and fulfil its promises".
Deniz Zeyrek, Ankara bureau chief of mass tabloid Hurriyet, says he is appalled by the arrangement.
Speaking on the TV channel CNNTurk, he said the EU-Turkish proposal treated the people trying to escape war as bargaining chips.
"Connecting the issue of refugees with Turkey's accession process is indecent," Mr Zeyrek says.
"Europeans are telling Turkey: 'We will give you $3bn and concessions as long as Syrians don't come here."

Poldark is to return for a second series with Aidan Turner back in the lead role, the BBC has confirmed.

The period drama remake - a ratings hit for the BBC - has been recommissioned for another eight episodes.
Turner has won legions of fans as the brooding, scythe-wielding Cornish hero Ross Poldark.
The show has helped BBC One record its highest ratings share for the first three months of the year in a decade.
Series two will be based on the third and fourth books of Winston Graham's series set in 18th century Cornwall.
Eleanor Tomlinson will also reprise her role as Poldark's beloved Demelza.
Poldark was originally made for TV in the 1970s, with Robin Ellis in the lead role, and hooked audiences of 15 million.
The recent adaptation pulls in around eight million viewers per episode, helping to boost BBC One's overall ratings for the first quarter of 2015.
Programmes like Poldark, EastEnders, and Still Open All Hours helped the corporation win 25.2% of viewers in peak times.
Call the Midwife averaged 10.3 million viewers making it the most watched drama series across all channels so far this year.
BBC One controller Charlotte Moore said it had been "an outstanding start" to the year.
She said: "We aim to maintain that momentum and continue to move with the times and bring audiences a range of distinctive, high quality programmes that feel relevant and reflect the diversity of modern Britain."


Lebanon is to temporarily reopen a landfill site and set up two new sites in a bid to end an eight-month crisis over uncollected rubbish in Beirut.

Piles of rotting refuse in the city's streets have prompted a mass anti-government movement.
Officials say the new move will solve the problem for the next four years while a permanent solution is found.
But protesters have gathered in Beirut, threatening to paralyse the country from Monday.
The crisis began with the closure of Beirut's main landfill site at Naameh last July with no alternative in place.
During hot summer weather, piles of rubbish grew so large that residents resorted to burning it on the streets, releasing toxic fumes.
The rubbish has since piled up on beaches, in mountain forests and along river beds.
Protesters blame the crisis on political paralysis and corruption and set up a "You Stink" movement. Last year, many took to the streets, leading to violent clashes with police.
Although protests have subsided, BBC Arab affairs editor Sebastian Usher says recent images of Lebanon still strewn with rubbish have re-energised the anti-government movement.
Information Minister Ramzi Jreij said on Saturday that the Naameh landfill would reopen for two months "to take in the rubbish that has already piled up".
Speaking after an emergency cabinet session, he said that two other "temporary" landfills would be opened in the city's suburbs.
During the meeting, about 3,000 demonstrators from the You Stink movement marched to central Beirut demanding a permanent solution to the crisis.
"The final warning has been sent, and we are now in a new phase. On Monday we will paralyse the country," protest organisers said in a statement.
Earlier this month, the group posted pictures on its Facebook page of mountains of rubbish festering across Lebanon.
One video filmed by a drone showed bags of rubbish stretching for miles like a flowing river.
The footage also mocked Lebanon's tourism ministry over a video it had commissioned on Lebanon's natural beauty.


A man has died from an electric shock on an outdoor artificial football pitch at a Portsmouth leisure centre.

South Central Ambulance Service said paramedics were sent to the Mountbatten Leisure Centre at 18:30 GMT on Sunday.
The 34-year-old man was taken to the Queen Alexandra Hospital but later died.
The centre's operator, Parkwood Community Leisure, said the man was not one of its employees.
The company manages the centre on behalf of Portsmouth City Council.
David Williams, the council's chief executive, said: "We are deeply saddened this has happened and our thoughts are with the family. Our centre operator will be assisting the police with their investigations."
A spokesman for Parkwood Community Leisure said: "We have launched a formal investigation into this incident alongside our Health and Safety consultants from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents."
Southern Electric said its engineers had attended to ensure the area was safe.
Hampshire Constabulary said the area remained cordoned off and would remain so for the rest of the day while investigations continued.
The man's next of kin has been informed but officers said his identity would not be confirmed until Tuesday.
A Health and Safety Executive spokesman said it had no involvement as the local authority had responsibility for enforcing health and safety legislation at the location.


Bradford's unbeaten start to the League One season continued when a Billy Clarke goal sealed a deserved win at Chesterfield.

The visitors dominated in front of nearly 2,000 Bantams fans and should have won the game comfortably as Chesterfield rarely threatened.
Bradford finally made their possession count in the 26th minute when a short corner was picked up by Clarke, who drove a shot from the left-hand edge of the area into the roof of the net.
Chesterfield were denied an equaliser in the 31st minute when Colin Doyle made a superb save to turn over a 25-yard free-kick from Kristian Dennis.

Bradford went close to a second in the 42nd minute after Jordy Hiwula broke through on the left but Ryan Fulton blocked his low shot.
Fulton rescued Chesterfield again in the 47th minute with a brilliant reaction save from a Hiwula flick, and the visitors had another chance when Timothee Dieng put James Meredith in but he dragged his shot wide.
Mark Marshall fired wide from a good position and Meredith had another chance in stoppage time.

Putting councils in charge of emergency welfare payments to hard-pressed families in England has led to concerns of a "postcode lottery", MPs have said.

The Commons Work and Pensions Committee said the changes worked well in some areas, but there was a wide variation.
Its report urged better co-ordination between central and local government.
The government said it was right to let councils distribute the Department of Work and Pensions cash because they understand local needs better.
But the Local Government Association said significant reductions in funding meant that making crisis payments for some councils was likely to be "a stretch too far".
Until April 2013, central government distributed discretionary emergency loans and grants to cover food, heating, clothing and other essentials.  The responsibility has now shifted to local authorities.
The MPs on the committee said they were not suggesting councils should be stripped of their new powers, but want to see them given more robust guidance by ministers to ensure that disabled people in particular do not lose out.
Its report also expressed concern that people hit by "unintended effects" of national welfare reforms, such as the new limits on housing benefit claims, were being left without a long-established state "safety net".
Councils including Blackpool, Croydon and Milton Keynes were given "great credit" by the MPs for their initiatives to help residents.
But the committee said: "Localisation risks blurring the lines of national and local responsibility, leading to confusion among vulnerable people about where to turn in a financial crisis.
"Closer joint-working and sharing of national and local data must be prioritised."
In a separate report, the spending watchdog, the National Audit Office, suggested that the future of local welfare provision is uncertain.
It found councils had "acted cautiously" in providing support because they were concerned about high demand and funding levels.
A DWP spokesman said the government's welfare reforms were designed to restore "fairness" to the system and they were working closely with local authorities, charities and landlords to ensure people received support.
Councillor Claire Kober, from the Local Government Association, said the variation in support across the country was driven by shortfalls faced by many councils.
"Without additional funding, there is a real risk that many will be unable to afford to continue to run their local welfare schemes or will have to scale them back significantly," she said.


A man has been convicted of raping a woman while she was asleep.

Greg Moffat, 22, from Airdrie, attacked the 23-year-old woman at a flat in the North Lanarkshire town in the early hours of 16 March 2014.
The High Court in Glasgow heard he told his victim he was sorry but later claimed to police that they had been involved in a consensual sex act.
Judge Lord Armstrong placed Moffat on the sex offenders register, remanded him in custody and deferred sentence.
The court heard that the victim was part of a group who had gone back to the flat following a night out at a local club.
She ended up going to sleep in a room in the flat but was later woken by Moffat raping her.
The woman told the jury: "I said to him: 'You were having sex with me when I was asleep. I said it over and over'.
"I was shocked. I didn't know what to think - can't explain it. I just wanted to get away."
Moffat later apologised to the woman but after being arrested he insisted they were involved in a consensual sex act rather than full intercourse.
However, the woman told the court she wanted her attacker to tell the truth.
She said: "I don't know why he is just not admitting it. I cannot believe why he would say that. I don't know why this happened."
The jury was also told that the rape had changed the woman's life and she had given up her job.
She added: "My whole life has changed. I don't feel comfortable with people. I am just different. I just don't have the same life that I did."
Following the guilty verdict, first offender Moffat wept as he was led handcuffed to the cells.


No local authority or housing association high rise flats in Scotland have the cladding used in Grenfell Tower, the government has said.

Ministers also revealed 24 out of 32 local authorities reported that no privately-owned high rises used Aluminium Composite Material (ACM).
The remaining councils are said to be investigating "as a matter of urgency".
Cladding is thought to have contributed to the rapid spread of fire at the London tower block.
At least 79 people are believed to have died following the blaze.
Of the eight local authorities yet to provide full information, four are in city areas.
On Friday evening, Camden Council in London announced that more than 800 homes in tower blocks on a council estate were to be evacuated because of safety concerns over cladding.
Local authorities have been sending samples for testing in a bit to identify buildings with cladding similar to that used in Grenfell Tower.
The Scottish government had previously said it was working "intensively" with councils to establish the safety of high rise flats.
In Scotland, cladding put on buildings since 2005 - or added to them since then - is required to be made of fire-proof material.
Communities Secretary Angela Constance said: "This week, we asked local authorities to give us further information about their high rise domestic buildings.
"They have reported that they have over 500 high rise domestic buildings in their areas.
"All 32 local authorities have advised the Scottish government that no council or housing association high rise domestic buildings have the type of cladding reported to have been used in the Grenfell Tower - Aluminium Composite Material.
"Twenty-four local authorities have also reported to us that no privately-owned high rise domestic buildings have ACM cladding.
"The remainder are completing their investigations as a matter of urgency."
Ms Constance told BBC Scotland's Newsdrive programme that investigations would stretch out to include other public sector buildings.
She said: "We are working very hard with the eight remaining local authorities to clarify the picture with regards to the private rented sector.
"I think most people would understand that, in terms of the task at hand, it is a harder job for local authorities to check out the private rented sector. It is obviously easier for local authorities to check out buildings that they own.
"But we have spoken to Homes for Scotland and the Scottish Property Federation, who are writing to their members asking them to co-operate with the eight remaining authorities so that we can get to this information as quickly as possible.
"Our first priority, and rightly so, is to seek assurances on high rise domestic buildings.
"But our work will look at different types of buildings and seek to provide assurance to the public with regards to other public sector buildings.
"So inquiries have started with regards to health services; we will indeed wish to look at the situation in our schools because the public will want as much assurance as possible."


Chelsea have appointed former Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez as interim manager until the end of the season.

He replaces Roberto Di Matteo, who was sacked on Wednesday following a 3-0 Champions League defeat by Juventus.
Benitez, 52, becomes Chelsea's ninth manager since Roman Abramovich became owner in 2003.
But his short-term appointment could pave the way for Abramovich to make a summer approach for ex-Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola.
Rafael Benitez must not only satisfy the demands of an owner who seems beyond satisfaction after taking over as Chelsea manager, he must also uncover a way to win over a sceptical fanbase.
To suggest that Benitez's arrival to succeed Roberto Di Matteo has not been received with universal acclaim by Chelsea's supporters is to offer up a masterpiece of understatement.
A Chelsea statement said: "The owner and the board believe that in Benitez we have a manager with significant experience at the highest level of football, who can come in and immediately help deliver our objectives.
"The two-time Uefa Manager of the Year comes with outstanding pedigree."
Benitez joined Liverpool from Valencia in 2004 and won the Champions League in 2005, as well as reaching the final in 2007, before leaving Anfield by mutual consent in 2010.
He has been out of work since he was sacked by Inter Milan in December 2010. He spent just six months in charge of the Serie A club despite winning two titles - the Club World Cup and Italian Super Cup.
The Spaniard is due to meet the Chelsea players at the club's training ground in Cobham on Thursday. His first match in charge is Sunday's visit of Premier League leaders and reigning champions Manchester City.
Before his appointment was confirmed, Benitez admitted his interest in the job to Abu Dhabi-based website Sport 360.
"I am looking for a club that can challenge for trophies and Chelsea is one of these clubs," he said.
When he was asked about the prospect of managing on a short-term basis, he added: "I am just trying to go to a team that can win. So we will find ways to have a challenge like this."
Former Chelsea midfielder Nigel Spackman suggested Benitez's appointment would be unpopular with Blues fans.
He told BBC Radio 5 live: "You won't find many Chelsea fans happy with an appointment of an ex-Liverpool manager.
"Benitez has got a great CV and a good record, but the only way he will win the Stamford Bridge crowd over is getting the results. Now he had to focus on trying to win the Premier League.
"He is the interim manager but if he does a good job maybe he will get it for longer."
David Johnstone, spokesman for Chelsea fanzine cfcuk, told BBC Sport that fans would be unhappy with Benitez as their new boss.
"Rafa Benitez is not a Chelsea manager," he said. "Some people are born to play for or manage certain clubs and for us, Benitez isn't what we want.
"When he was Liverpool manager and Jose Mourinho was Chelsea boss there was a bit of 'beef' between them.
"He was very dismissive of Chelsea, very rude towards us, and my impression of him was that whenever anything went wrong it was always somebody else's fault, not his."
Former Liverpool and Germany midfielder Dietmar Hamann, a Champions League winner under Benitez at Anfield, believes the Spaniard will improve Chelsea.
"He is a very talented and outstanding manager," he said.  "He's a very meticulous worker and he puts a lot of emphasis on tactical exercises."
Chelsea's declaration that Benitez is only manager until the end fo the season indicates Abramovich is still interested in landing Guardiola once the former Barcelona manager decides to return to the game.
Guardiola, 41, is midway through a 12-month sabbatical after leaving Barcelona at the end of last season. He won 14 trophies in four years at Barca, including three titles and the Champions League twice.
Di Matteo, 42, won the Champions League and FA Cup as caretaker manager last season and was given a two-year deal in June.
The Italian spoke of his "deep and unreserved passion" for Chelsea despite being sacked as manager after just eight months in charge.
His dismissal came hours after defeat to Juventus, leaving the Blues on the brink of a Champions League exit.


Scotland captain Greig Laidlaw has asked fans to stick by the national side because the players are "going to Rome to win".

Following defeats by England and Wales this month, Scotland have lost nine Six Nations games in a row ahead of Saturday's match with Italy.
They are currently on their worst run of defeats in the competition for over 60 years.
"It's hugely important for Scottish rugby that we win," said Laidlaw.
Laidlaw reiterated his view that Scotland are close to winning matches and need a little bit of luck, following the 9-15 home loss to England and the 27-23 defeat in Wales.
Italy beat Scotland 22-19 at Murrayfield in last year's campaign.
"We'll take any win," said Laidlaw. "Any team can play well and not win, but that's not good enough, we need to win games.
"There's nobody that feels a Scotland loss more than me. I won't speak to people for a couple of days. I'm desperate to get a win, just as much as every Scotland fan is, if not more. I'll be doing everything within my powers to get us that result this weekend.
"They're a sticky side, they stay in games. They had a close loss in France, which is a tough place to go and play. They were in the game with England up until the 55 to 60-minute mark.
"It'll be tight but if we stay the course we can win."
Laidlaw feels Vern Cotter's side can use last year's impressive World Cup campaign as inspiration.
The Scots reached the quarter-finals and Laidlaw points to the crucial 36-33 pool win over Samoa as proof they can handle pressure in big games.
"We played well in the Samoa game and since then our form has been pretty good to be honest with you," continued Laidlaw. "You can always learn from an experience and that game was a must-win game, and this weekend is a must-win game as well.
"I've never said we've been unlucky to lose nine (Six Nations) games in a row. We've had bad luck along the way and everybody needs a bit of good luck to go their way.
"We're not playing against bad teams. To go to Wales is an extremely tough place. We're not getting clobbered by a lot of points, we're right in these games.
"We're sick of saying it, I'm sick of saying it. We simply need to find that little bit extra. We just want to get that win under our belt.
"The support has been incredible, we value it highly as players. Stick by us, I know they will because that's the Scottish mentality. We're going over there to win that game as much for them as for us."


Peterborough collected a point from a 1-1 draw at Shrewsbury despite being reduced to 10 men just before the hour when defender Ryan Tafazolli was sent off.

Posh started brightly, with Tom Nichols bending an effort just off target before Chris Forrester hammered a 20-yard shot narrowly over the bar.
The visitors eventually broke the deadlock in the 32nd minute when Marcus Maddison's free-kick from the right was headed home by Gwion Edwards from close range.
Shaun Whalley twice went close for Shrewsbury either side of the Posh goal with well-struck shots from just outside the penalty area which goalkeeper Luke McGee impressively turned away.
The visitors ended the half strongly, Maddison hitting a post with a low 20-yard drive before both he and Tafazolli forced good saves from Shrewsbury goalkeeper Jayson Leutwiler.
The home keeper then made a fine save from Paul Taylor before Shrewsbury went straight up the other end to grab a 56th-minute equaliser, Ian Black's looping header from Joe Riley's right-wing cross.
Three minutes later Tafazolli was sent off for bringing down Antoni Sarcevic, but Black's penalty was well saved by keeper McGee.

It's a year since the referendum in which the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union, and it's safe to say that no-one yet knows how this is going to turn out.

This month's general election has only served to heighten the sense that much of the Brexit process is still unknown - particularly the final destination.
So what has changed in the past year?
Well, in terms of the process, in March the UK triggered Article 50 of the Treaty of Lisbon, the formal route out of the EU that has never been put to the test before.
And - after an unexpected UK election that produced an unexpected result - formal face-to-face negotiations on the terms of divorce finally began earlier this week.
But there has been only one day of meetings between the two chief negotiators - David Davis and Michel Barnier - and there is an enormous amount still to do. That worries EU officials in particular.
Brexit and the UK economy one year on
UK's Brexit offer 'below expectations'
The next few months will be crucial. By October we should know whether a deal looks achievable on the elements of separation that the EU intends to focus on first: citizens' rights, a financial settlement, and the future status of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
For now, all we know is that the two-year period for Article 50 negotiations is due to come to an end on 29 March 2019, and unless all parties agree on an extension, that is when the UK will leave the EU.
Amid all this uncertainty, what about some of the claims that reverberated around the referendum campaign last year?
The claim: £350m a week going to the EU that could go to the NHS
The verdict: The famous £350 million-a-week slogan daubed on the side of a Vote Leave bus has been debunked many times. It wasn't true then, and it isn't true now. The UK didn't send £350m a week to the EU because the rebate was deducted before any money was sent, and there's no sign that such a sum will be plucked from a magic money tree to be sent to the NHS when we leave.
A big concern for the NHS post-Brexit is whether it will be able to recruit the staff it needs to keep services going. The number of nurses from the EU registering to work in the UK has dropped from 1,304 in July 2016 to just 46 in April 2017.
That's a problem because 6.9% of nurses and health visitors in the NHS and 9.3% of doctors come from countries elsewhere in the EU (and the European Economic Area).
The fall in the number of EU nurses registering for work is part of a pattern that has seen net migration to the UK fall even before Brexit happens. The latest figures from the ONS show fewer EU citizens arriving in the UK and more leaving. What we don't yet know is what kind of immigration system the government plans to introduce when it brings free movement of people from the rest of the EU to an end.
The claim: Another prominent claim from the leave campaign in the run-up to the referendum last year was that Turkey was on the verge of joining the EU, and the UK couldn't do anything to stop it.
The verdict: Again, not true then and not true now.
In fact, since the referendum, Turkey has lived through an attempted military coup, a massive crackdown on opposition and dissent, and a sharp deterioration in human rights. Several countries are calling openly for stuttering membership talks to come to an end, and Turkey feels further away than ever from joining the EU.
The claim: There were many warnings of dire economic consequences from the remain side during the referendum campaign.
The verdict: A Treasury analysis that a leave vote would tip the UK into recession and cause an "immediate and profound" economic shock has proven to be unfounded.
That may be partly because so little actually happened in the immediate aftermath of the referendum result. It took nine months to trigger Article 50, and for much of the past year there was a sense of a phoney war as the country digested what had just taken place.
But many of the economic forecasts were about what might happen after we actually leave, and we're nowhere near that point yet. However, there has been one clear economic consequence of the Brexit vote that has had a knock-on effect on inflation: a sustained fall in the value of the pound.
During the course of the past year, sterling has fallen by as much as 19.3% against the US dollar and 15.5% against the euro. It has recovered slightly, but on Thursday the pound was 15% lower than it was on 23 June 2016 relative to the dollar, and 13.2% lower against the euro.
The claim: Another economic argument, used this time by the leave campaign, was that the UK would be well advised to leave an economic union that was in terminal decline.
The verdict: In fact the latest projections from the OECD predict that the UK economy will grow by 1.6% this year and 1% next year, while the euro area will grow by 1.8% in both 2017 and 2018.
The World Bank is more optimistic about the UK economy, and the eurozone still has some serious underlying issues to grapple with. Perceptions can change quickly, but the election in France of a new young president in Emmanuel Macron has reinforced the idea that perhaps - just perhaps - the EU has got its mojo back, just as the UK shuffles towards the exit door.
So where do we go from here?
All in all, it feels like there still has not been an honest debate in the UK about what Brexit actually means in practice. Both the main parties avoided any serious detail during the course of the election campaign.
But debate has resumed about alternative models - the Swiss model and the Norwegian model - that were discussed at length before and after the referendum, only to be discarded once Theresa May announced that she was determined that the UK would leave the single market and the customs union.
Debate about the long-term destination, and the prospects for a lengthy transition period, will intensify in the coming months. But there is an urgent need for progress on some of the more immediate practical issues.
As a direct result of the decision to leave the EU, the government plans legislation that will totally recast national policy on immigration, customs, trade, agriculture and fisheries, nuclear safeguards and international sanctions, as well as the "Repeal Bill" that will transpose all EU rules and regulations into British law.
It is a vast undertaking.
It is remarkable how much we still don't know about how this process is going to unfold. One year on from the referendum, we are in many ways none the wiser.

A Wikipedia entry has been removed from certain Google search results, under the new EU "right to be forgotten" law.

The landmark ruling, passed in May, allowed Europeans to ask for links to "irrelevant" and outdated personal data to be removed from search engines.
The Wikipedia incident, first reported in The Observer, marks the first time an entry on the online encyclopaedia has been targeted, the BBC understands.
Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales has expressed his opposition to the law.
The "right to be forgotten" ruling has been the subject of much controversy since the decision by European Union Court of Justice (ECJ).
While the law has been welcomed by some privacy advocates, many groups have said it contravenes the right to free speech, with some even calling it censorship.
Last week, the Lords Home Affairs EU Sub-Committee said it was wrong to give search engines such as Google the job of deciding what should be removed, and called the law unreasonable.
More than 90,000 removal requests have been received by Google in the months since the law was imposed, and other search engines, such as Bing, have also implemented procedures to accept public requests.
In July, an article written by the BBC's Robert Peston was removed from Google search results, and links to articles on the Guardian, Telegraph and Independent news sites have also been taken down.
Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, has long expressed his concerns about the "right to be forgotten".
Speaking on the BBC Radio 4 Today programme in July, Mr Wales said: "The law as it stands right now is quite confusing.
"We have this one ruling of the ECJ which is very open-ended and very hard to interpret.
"I would say the biggest problem we have is that the law seems to indicate Google needs to censor links to information that is clearly public - links to articles in legally published, truthful news stories.
"That is a very dangerous path to go down, and certainly if we want to go down a path where we are going to be censoring history, there is no way we should leave a private company like Google in charge of making those decisions."


The wreck of the ship that carried Captain Robert Scott on his doomed expedition to the Antarctic a century ago has been discovered off Greenland.

The SS Terra Nova was found by a team from a US research company.
Scott and his party set off from Cardiff aboard the Terra Nova in 1910 with the aim of becoming the first expedition to reach the South Pole.
The ship had a life after the polar trek, sinking off Greenland's south coast in 1943.
It had been on a journey to deliver supplies to base stations in the Arctic when it was damaged by ice. The Terra Nova's crew was saved by the US Coast Guard cutter Southwind.
On arriving at the geographical South Pole in January 1912, Scott and his party discovered they had been beaten to it by a Norwegian team led by Roald Amundsen.
The polar team led by Scott died on their return journey from the pole; their bodies were found by a search party eight months later.
Their endeavour became popularly known as the Terra Nova expedition.
A crew from the Schmidt Ocean Institute discovered the Terra Nova whilst testing echo-sounding equipment aboard its flagship vessel - the R/V Falkor.
One of the scientists noticed an unidentified feature during sonar mapping of the sea bed.
Team members then noted that the 57m length of the feature matched the reported length of the Terra Nova.
Technicians dropped a camera package called Shrimp to just above the presumed wreck to film it.
Camera tows across the top of the target showed the remains of a wooden wreck lying on the seabed.
Footage from the Shrimp also identified a funnel lying next to the ship.
Taken together, the features of the wreck closely matched historical photos of the Terra Nova, leading to the identification.
Brian Kelly, an education officer from the Discovery Point museum in Dundee, where the ship was built, told the Daily Record newspaper: "The Terra Nova has such a story.
"She went through a lot in her lengthy history and really was the pinnacle of Scottish wooden shipbuilding.
"It is incredible that one of the most famous ships in history has been found 100 years after the race for the pole and in the year commemorating the event."

Great Britain's Adam Peaty won 50m breaststroke gold at the World Swimming Championships to become the first man to complete the 50m and 100m double.

Media playback is not supported on this device
The 20-year-old then helped GB win mixed 4x100m medley relay gold in a world record time in Kazan.
Chris Walker-Hebborn, Peaty, Siobhan-Marie O'Connor and Fran Halsall triumphed in three minutes 41.71 seconds for Britain's fourth gold.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"We fought for every inch. We left it all on the battlefield," Peaty said.
Peaty beat South Africa's Cameron van der Burgh into second place in the 50m breaststroke final, in a repeat of Monday's 100m final.
Peaty won in 26.51 seconds, with South Africa's Van der Burgh 0.15secs behind and American Kevin Cordes third.
Britain became the third country at these championships to set a world record in the mixed 4x100m medley, which is not an Olympic event.
Russia clocked 3:45.87 before the USA recorded 3:42.43.
Russia's time was also bettered by both Germany and the British line-up of Walker-Hebborn, Ross Murdoch, Rachael Kelly and Halsall in the semi-final.
But Britain beat the USA into second and Germany into third as they set a new record in the final.
A total of 10 world records have been set at the championships.
Stephen Milne was seventh in the 800m freestyle final but Hannah Miley failed to reach the 200m butterfly final.
Milne, who competes in the 1500m later in the week, clocked seven minutes 49.86 seconds, while Miley was joint 14th fastest of the semi-finalists in 2:09.21.
Lauren Quigley reached Thursday's 50m backstroke final by finishing seventh fastest in 27.88.
Dan Wallace qualified for Thursday's 200m individual medley final with 1:57.77, which was second fastest in his semi-final and fourth fastest overall.
Roberto Pavoni lost a swim-off for the final against American Conor Dwyer after finishing joint eighth fastest in the semi-finals.
Benjamin Proud and Calum Jarvis missed out on the 100m freestyle semi-finals after finishing in 49.35 and 49.68 respectively in the heats.
Meanwhile, Britain's Gary Hunt won gold in the 27m high diving competition.
American Katie Ledecky, 18, added 200m freestyle gold to her 1500m gold by beating two-time winner Federica Pellegrini and defending champion Missy Franklin in 1:55.16.
Ledecky, who won four golds at the 2013 World Championships in Barcelona, said: "I knew that I could trust in my training. That confidence has fuelled my swims this week."
China's Sun Yang followed up his 400m freestyle gold with victory in the 800m in 7:39.96, ahead of Gregorio Paltrinieri and Mack Horton of Australia.
Laszlo Cseh of Hungary beat defending champion Chad le Clos and Jan Switkowski to win the 200m butterfly in 1:53.48.


Middlesex have signed James Fuller after the fast bowler turned down a new deal with Gloucestershire.

The 25-year-old, who has played for Gloucestershire since 2010, has agreed a three-year contract with Middlesex.
"We have been looking to sign a fast bowler with white-ball pedigree," said Middlesex managing director of cricket Angus Fraser.
"In James I believe we have found a bowler that will add extra bite and quality to this area."
Fuller was a key part of Gloucestershire's winning One-Day Cup campaign this year, taking 15 wickets including 2-34 in the final at Lord's.
Born in Cape Town, South Africa, he holds a UK passport and has taken 101 first-class wickets at an average of 33.90 with best figures of 6-24.
He also has 58 List A one-day wickets at an average of 25.17 and 62 Twenty20 wickets in 46 games.
"I have watched James bowl on numerous occasions and have been impressed with what I have seen," added Fraser.
"He is a fine athlete with a strong, easy action that allows him to bowl with good pace. James is extremely ambitious and is the sort of character that fits what Middlesex are looking for."


Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck is expected to be out until Christmas after having a knee operation.

Welbeck, 24, who had surgery last week on the injury sustained in April, has scored eight goals in his first 34 games for the Gunners.
Arsenal, who were linked with Karim Benzema, knew the extent of the problem before the transfer window closed but did not reinforce their attack.
That means Olivier Giroud is their only recognised striker fit for selection.
Theo Walcott, Alexis Sanchez and Joel Campbell - who has not played for the Gunners since January - have experience of operating in that position, but are mainly used by Arsenal as wide players.
England international Welbeck, who joined from Manchester United in 2014, picked up the injury to his left knee after coming on as a substitute in Arsenal's 0-0 home draw with Chelsea in late April.
"The injury to his cartilage did not respond as well as hoped and the decision was taken last week for him to undergo surgery," said a statement.
Arsenal did explore the possibility of recruiting a new striker before Tuesday's transfer deadline, but they ended the window with goalkeeper Petr Cech as their only signing.
They were the only club from the top five European leagues not to sign an outfield player during the summer.
That led to the Arsenal Supporters' Trust calling for an inquiry into the club's transfer policy.
"No-one wants Arsenal to buy players just for the sake of it, but we do want to see the money being invested to make the club stronger," it said in a statement.
Manager Arsene Wenger said: "Am I happy with the investment I make? Yes, every time. You have to find the players to invest in."


Adam Lyth scored a century as Yorkshire beat Northamptonshire by two wickets at Scarborough to secure their first One-Day Cup victory of the season.

Lyth's career-best 125 from 78 balls contained 10 fours and eight sixes.
The hosts slipped from 189-2 to 192-5, before Gary Ballance (80) and David Willey (26 not out) guided them to 314-8 with 15 balls to spare.
Earlier, Ben Duckett scored a 113-ball 121 and skipper Alex Wakely hit 71 from 79 balls as the visitors made 310-7.
Duckett's innings, which contained two sixes and 15 fours, was his first List A century in his 25th match.
Liam Plunkett (2-33) and Willey (2-55) - playing against his former club - took two wickets each for Yorkshire, before Steven Crook's unbeaten 46 from 41 deliveries pushed Northants past 300,
In reply, Whitby-born Lyth, who came through the youth system at Scarborough Cricket Club, scored 80 of Yorkshire's 97 in the opening 10 Powerplay overs and reached his century from 60 balls.
Lyth's dismissal was one of three wickets in nine balls, with Graeme White (3-45) getting rid of the opener, quickly followed by Adil Rashid for one.
But Ballance put on half-century partnerships with Tim Bresnan (38) and Willey, and despite two wickets for Azharullah (2-62) in one over, Willey hit his third six to win the game.


David Cameron has said he believes Boris Johnson could return to the House of Commons in 2015 and that the two "can make a very good team".

Asked about the Mayor of London's future, the prime minister told BBC Radio 4's Today: "I think he's got an enormous amount to give to public life.
"I don't think he's given up on that idea either. So... we're quite well aligned, if I can put it that way."
Mr Johnson has urged activists to work "flat out" for a Tory victory in 2015.
In his speech to the conference, Mr Johnson made no direct reference to his future.
But he remarked that French politician Alain Juppe had been Mayor of Bordeaux while he was French prime minister, joking that this was a "good idea".
Mr Johnson has ruled out standing for a third term as London mayor and suggested that something will "crop up" when his time in office ends in 2016.
Some Tories have urged him to consider standing for Parliament in 2015, citing the precedent of Ken Livingstone who remained an MP during his first year as mayor.
Mr Johnson has long been regarded as a rival to Mr Cameron but the BBC News Channel's Norman Smith said he was maintaining a lower profile at conference this year to avoid being accused of stealing the limelight from the prime minister.
Mr Cameron said the mayor of London was a "massive asset" to his party and the country and suggested there could be a job for him in a future Conservative government.
"My message to him is that you are a brilliant mayor, you have done a great job, you have a lot more to give to public life and it would be great to have you back in the House of Commons at some stage contributing to public life.  But that is up to him."
Asked whether he could envisage a return as soon as 2015, the PM said "absolutely" and stressed he would give him a "very warm welcome".
"It is a matter for him, it is his plan. All I know is that... we can make a very strong team together, we do today."
Sources close to the mayor of London have said he has not applied to be the Conservative candidate for the seat of Croydon South, where the sitting MP is retiring.
In his speech, Mr Johnson praised the prime minister as the "only statesman in the European Union" capable of delivering reform and a referendum for the British people.
He said the choice at the next election was between the "fools gold" offered by Labour and a Conservative Party which had taken "difficult and sensible" decisions - urging his party to remove "the Liberal Democrat albatross from around our necks" and push for outright victory.
But he urged David Cameron to reconsider stamp duty levels in London and elsewhere, saying it was having a "baleful effect" on aspiring home owners.
The tax was "stamping on the fingers of those trying to get on the property ladder", he added.


A disabled man has said his visits to Maghaberry Prison have become more difficult since changes were made to the visitors' bus service.

The visitors' centre was one of the few elements of the County Antrim prison praised in a recent damning report.
But the bus that took people between the centre and the prison stopped after the start of a new contract.
The Northern Ireland Prison Service said it has arrangements in place to "assist people with mobility issues".
Just before Christmas, a private company took over the running of the visitors' centre from the Quaker Service, a family support charity, and the bus service ended.
Malcolm McCormick said that has made it difficult for people to visit the jail as it is too far to walk.
He had been visiting a friend regularly in the prison, but because of his disabilities he could not drive and had to use public transport.
But when he arrived at the visitors' centre at the start of December he was told he would have to make his own way to the prison entrance.
"[The prison] is not the right access level for visiting," he said.
"They really don't care about people who've got disabilities, or people who have to go visit their loved ones inside."
Until December, Mr McCormick chose a train closest to his visit, and then waited at the visitors' centre until his time slot, like many other prison visitors.
They were then taken to the main prison in a minibus, which, like the visitors' centre, was run by the Quaker Service.
But when the contract for the visitors' centre was awarded to a private company, the provision of a bus was not included in the tender.
It is about a quarter of a mile from the centre to the prison, which Mr McCormick said was too far for him and others, "especially people with mobility problems, people with bad sight, or carrying children".
He said although a taxi was able to drop him at the main building from the train station, he was not able to wait in the prison building itself and that the visitors' centre was the only place people could wait.
Mr McCormick felt his only option was to get a taxi all the way from Belfast, costing him "about forty quid on each visit".
The recent report on Maghaberry Prison was damning on almost all fronts, but it did give one area a glowing review.
It said: "The welcoming visitors' centre continued to offer good support, including to first-time visitors who were identified.
"The bus transporting visitors between the visitors' centre, the searching area and the prison also now provided a service to and from the local Moira train station."
Mr McCormick said the prison service needs to do more to help visitors.
Raymond McCartney, the deputy chair of the Northern Ireland Assembly's justice committee, said there should be "compassion" shown to prisoners' families and friends visiting the jail.
"I think it's an important service - the distance from the visitors' centre to the front gate is considerable," he said.
"Recently, when I was in the prison and spoke to the senior managers, they believed a solution could be brought forward.
"I would be hopeful that, perhaps in the coming weeks, that we could see a resolution to this."
In a statement, the Northern Ireland Prison Service said: "The contract for the visitors' centre at Maghaberry was awarded through an open and transparent procurement competition.
"The prison service will continue to work with the provider to ensure that services are in place to support relationships between families and prisoners."


Leaving the EU would make the UK "less safe", a former intelligence services chief has warned.

Former MI6 boss Sir John Sawers told the BBC's Andrew Marr that the UK would be shut out of decisions on the "crucial" issue of data sharing.
But Justice Secretary Michael Gove, who backs the campaign for the UK to leave the EU, said Sir John was "flat wrong".
He told the programme many security experts did not think that "Brexit" would harm Britain.
Security is the latest battleground in the run-up to the referendum on the UK's EU membership on 23 June.
Cross-border policing and security collaboration but also freedom of movement.
Sir John and ex-MI5 chief Lord Evans stepped into the debate with an article in the Sunday Times.
Sir John told the BBC that he and Lord Evans, who led MI5 until three years ago, had waited to intervene until after Thursday's elections.
He said: "The reason we would be less safe [if the UK voted to leave], is that we would be unable to take part in the decisions that frame the sharing of data, which is a crucial part of counter-terrorism and counter-cyber work that we do these days, and we would lose the abilities of thing like the European Arrest Warrant."
He said the UK leaving would also threaten wider European stability, saying: "We are only secure because the wider Europe is secure, pulling out will make it more dangerous."
Sir John said that, thanks to data sharing within the EU, the French had been able to transfer DNA and fingerprints of one of the Brussels bombers - the kind of thing which used to take months - within minutes.
He rejected claims that the European Court of Justice was getting in the way of security, adding: "I think judges tend to err on the side of human rights rather than erring on the side of security. That's beginning to change as judges understand the scale of the security threat that Europe faces."
Mr Gove told the BBC the ECJ had interfered in the UK's capacity to share data and intelligence with the US and stopped it deporting people "whose presence here is not conducive to the public good".
He said the European Criminal Records Information System did not allow the UK to know whether or not criminals had entered the country. "We only find out whether or not people have criminal records after they commit an offence in this country. It's a gossamer-thin protection."
He argued that removing the UK from the ECJ's remit post-referendum would be among "immediate steps in order to make this country safer".
He said many security experts did not agree with Sir John' analysis.
"Ron Noble, who's the head of Interpol, says that the European Union's open borders policy is like hanging out a welcome sign for terrorists.
"Richard Dearlove, the former head of MI6, says that open borders policy, and also the way in which European courts operate, is against our interest. Richard Walton, the most recent head of anti-terrorism at the Met, say that we would suffer not one whit by being outside the EU."
Sir Richard, who led MI6 from 1999 to 2004, wrote recently that the cost to Britain's security of leaving the EU would be low.


Fortaleza's Avenida Beira Mar was alive with the sounds of Brazil's celebrations after they took another step towards the 2014 Fifa World Cup final - but there was no mistaking the Neymar effect.

In Fortaleza
The road that sweeps around the front of this picturesque north-eastern coastal location was populated with fans torn between the joy of quarter-final victory against Colombia and the sadness of seeing their icon and greatest hope left in a local clinic and out of the tournament.
Neymar's departure on a stretcher with a fractured vertebra was not exactly a footnote to the win that sets up a semi-final against Germany but few suspected the full consequences of Colombia defender Juan Zuniga's cynical knee in the back at the actual moment of impact.
Media playback is not supported on this device
And the scale of Neymar's importance to hosts Brazil and the World Cup was illustrated by the reaction as recognition hit home that the 22-year-old was facing a fight to remain involved in the showpiece that so often bears his name and face here in Brazil.
As those inside Fortaleza's Estadio Castelao acclaimed coach Luiz Felipe Scolari and his players at the final whistle after a night of colour, noise and pure theatre, others outside were making their way to where Neymar had been taken for what was ultimately a pessimistic diagnosis.
Brazil team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar delivered the news that left the nation fearing their dream of winning the World Cup on home soil had been irreparably damaged by the brutal challenge on Neymar.
Scolari, with a typical verbal flourish, announced Neymar had been "hunted" - although plenty could assert with some justification that Brazil had employed similar methods to subdue Colombia forward James Rodriguez.
He complained: "Not even a yellow card. Nothing. People think Germany, these or the others, only they are hunted but not Neymar."
It was somehow an almost inevitable result of an extraordinarily lenient display by referee Carlos Velasco Carballo, whose refusal to exert his authority on a game that contained more fouls than any other at this World Cup, 54, occasionally threatened a free-for-all and encouraged defenders to take such licence.
This figure exceeded Brazil's last game against Chile, when there were 51 fouls. Brazil also conceded more fouls than they have done in any World Cup match since 1966 with 31 while the last time there were more fouls in a single game was when Germany played Argentina in 2006, when 55 were committed.
It suggests that for all the commitment to the so-called "O Jogo Bonito" ("the Beautiful Game") Scolari's Brazil are prepared to do whatever it takes to win.
Whereas the roughed up Rodriguez left the field in tears, with the sort of sympathy from Brazil's players they had pointedly declined to offer him during the game, Neymar left on a stretcher and to the sad acceptance that his World Cup, if not Brazil's, was over.
Inevitably, given that Neymar has become the public face of Brazil's campaign, the television screens were dominated by the challenge and its consequences. They must now do without the one player regarded as close to irreplaceable.
The fact that another player of great significance, captain Thiago Silva, will also not face Germany in Belo Horizonte because of suspension was reduced to the undercard in terms of importance.
Brazilian media have been offering up the theory that when Neymar plays well Brazil play well - and vice-versa. It may be overstating the case and they got through here with goals from central defenders Silva and David Luiz, but there was always a question mark about how they would cope without him.
Now, against the wishes of the entire country, they get the chance to find out.
Neymar may have had mixed fortunes at Barcelona but this has not reduced his celebrity nor the level of adulation here. He brings a touch of fantasy to a Brazil side that is not vintage in many areas and distinctly vulnerable in some.
If there is some consolation for Scolari it will come from the manner in which Brazil were at least able to get a result without Neymar at his best but it looked scant as the news sank in.
Doubts have been raised about whether Brazil have the quality to win the World Cup and the absence of their best player, the man regarded as their best hope of victory and who had contributed four goals, will only increase them.
Scolari admitted he was unsure how he would adjust to Neymar's absence but this may now be the chance for Chelsea's Willian to make his mark and for team-mate Oscar's role to be an even more prominent one but there is no doubt Brazil will spend the days between now and Tuesday's semi-final against Germany coming to terms with this loss.
It was a sad end to a spectacular occasion in Fortaleza, from the extended rendition of Brazil's national anthem to the sweep of yellow shirts - broken only by those choosing to wear the red of Colombia's away kit - and the thunderous noise that did not let up for 90 minutes.
This was what Scolari called "the fifth step" on the road to the World Cup and redemption for Brazil as this country seeks to expunge the still bitter memories of the defeat by Uruguay in the final in Rio 1950.
This may seem like a lifetime ago but it remains almost like yesterday for so many in Brazil who recall it as their darkest sporting day.
The roadshow now moves to Belo Horizonte for Scolari's sixth step. The dream lives on but there was no disguising Brazil's pain and concern at having to try and complete the final part of the journey without, in their eyes, the World Cup's biggest star.


Urgent clarification is needed on what the devolution of stamp duty will mean for properties straddling the Wales-England border, solicitors have warned.

Stamp duty will be replaced in Wales by the land transaction tax in April 2018.
Buyers purchasing properties with land in Wales and England face having to make two separate payments.
The Welsh Government said it is working with the Land Registry to identify all properties which could be affected.
According to a recent report by the Welsh Assembly's finance committee, 1,093 registered properties straddle the Wales-England border.
Current legislation states land transaction tax will have to be paid on the proportion of the property in Wales and stamp duty will be raised on the land in England.
As a result, questions have been raised about how the separate valuations should be carried out.
Speaking to the BBC's Sunday Politics Wales programme, Oswestry-based property solicitor Emma Wilde said: "In terms of valuing the two separate areas of land, that's got to be done on a 'just and reasonable' basis.
"There's no further guidance as to what that means.
"I would say we need clarity urgently because I'm conscious the work that will need to be done to be able to provide that clarity is going to take some time so I think we need to be in a position to have some certainty as to the application of the rules in the early part of this year."
There are also calls for the border to be clearly mapped on Land Registry documents to prevent confusion over where the border lies - it does not currently appear on its maps.
Angharad Woodland, from the Law Society, said: "Welsh Government will have to get together with Land Registry and there will be a cost involved and it will have to be put in place.
"[It] needs to be put in place on day one because if it isn't, Welsh Government will not get the tax it's entitled to because people simply won't know to pay it to them."
Simon Thomas AM, chairman of the finance committee, told the programme the Welsh Government "needs to get hold of this issue because the scale of it is bigger than Welsh Government thought".
"They need to take the leadership over the next year or so, so that people understand what their responsibilities need to be," Mr Thomas said.
A Welsh Government spokeswoman said: "Under these rules, there may be cases where some taxpayers have to submit two returns [make two payments] if the transactions are notifiable in both England and Wales and therefore pay tax according to the rules under stamp duty land tax and land transaction tax."
It was working with the Land Registry to identify properties straddling the order, the spokeswoman said, adding: "Work has also started to establish the titles where the border is already mapped and ensure the border is on all titles."
A Land Registry spokeswoman described it as a "complex issue" but said it was working with the Welsh Government and HMRC to "establish how we will be able to assist taxpayers in identifying where the border lies in the respective titles".
"We are confident that an appropriate resolution to this issue will be found," she added.


The UK's largest shooting organisation has asked ScotRail to lift its ban on the transportation of all firearms.

The train operator brought in the ban, which includes lawfully owned guns, after a licensed firearm was left unattended on a train this year.
But the British Association for Shooting and Conservation (BASC) said it posed a problem for people travelling to sporting estates.
It said the ban could have a "negative impact" on the Glorious Twelfth.
Traditionally, the first day of the grouse shooting season is 12 August.
BASC has raised its concerns in letters to Scottish government ministers.
Peter Glenser, the association's chairman, said:  "ScotRail has imposed a ban which will damage Scotland's reputation as an iconic fieldsports destination.
"ScotRail claims it is Scotland's railway but it is striking at the heart of rural businesses and communities which rely on the estimated Â£155m injected each year into the country's economy by country sports tourism.
"BASC understands that this outright ban is a result of a single incident of a shotgun being left on a train.
"Considering the millions of miles travelled safely with shotguns and firearms each year, this decision looks like a disproportionate, knee-jerk response."
ScotRail said the decision to introduce the ban was made for safety reasons.
David Lister, ScotRail Alliance's safety and sustainability director, said: "The safety and security of our customers and staff is our number one priority.
"Following an incident earlier in the year, when a customer left a firearm unattended on a train, we reviewed our policy and decided that the best way to keep our customers and staff safe is to ban all firearms on ScotRail services.
"We are confident that this is a decision that will have the support of the vast majority of staff and customers."


An Italian driver has raced up China's Tongtian Road, considered one of the world's most dangerous, in record time.

Fabio Barone covered the nearly 11km (6.8 mile) route in just 10 minutes 31 seconds, on 21 September.
The road has 99 sharp turns on its way up Tianmen Mountain, rising from 200 to 1,300 metres above sea level.
He had his Ferrari specially modified for the attempt, shaving crucial kilos off its weight by swapping metal for carbon fibre parts.
Mr Barone is not new to racing hairy mountain roads, having set another speed record last year on the Transfagarasan mountain road in the Transylvanian Alps in Romania.
Tianmen Mountain is no stranger to extreme motor sports either, having hosted a Red Bull "drift king" event, for adrenaline-seeking drivers to slide their cars around its tight bends.


Sheffield United boss Nigel Adkins has said the team must improve after stretching their winless run in the league to five games.

A section of the home support turned on the players during the 4-2 home defeat by Shrewsbury on Tuesday.
The Blades are currently 12th in League One, five points outside the play-offs.
"We are not where we want to be. We can't keep doing what we have been because we have to win games of football," he told BBC Radio Sheffield.
"I have got to be very demanding and ruthless, but I have to make sure that we have the opportunity to win.
"The players will be given clearly defined roles and responsibilities when they go out on to the pitch on Saturday, but once they cross the white. line the energy, passion and desire has to come from them."
The Blades visit struggling neighbours Barnsley on Saturday.
Adkins replaced Nigel Clough in the summer after the Bramall Lane side missed out on promotion through the play-offs for the third time in four seasons.
The former Southampton and Reading boss denied that the job has proved to be tougher than he expected.
"It's a great challenge and nothing worth achieving is easy," he said.
"I want to be at the top echelons and winning things, pressure comes with that and you should embrace it.
"This is a top-level football club and there are demands that come with that, but you should be excited by that.
"Obstacles are placed in your way but that brings opportunity."


Britain's Jamie Murray and Brazilian Bruno Soares have secured qualification for the ATP World Tour Finals doubles event at the 02 in London in November.

The pair ensured their place by winning their third-round match at the US Open against Brian Baker and Marcus Daniell 6-3 7-6 (9-7).
Murray, who was world doubles number one earlier this year, won the Australian Open with Soares in January.
This year's event runs from 13-20 November.
Soares and Murray lost in the Wimbledon quarter-finals and went out in the third round at the French Open.
But the pair won the Sydney International before the Australian Open and also reached ATP Tour finals in Monte Carlo and Toronto.
Murray, 30, will be making his second consecutive London appearance.
Last year, he and partner John Peers were eliminated in the group stage.
The tournament sees the top eight ranked pairings split into two groups with the top two from each pool making the semi-finals.

Ask anyone from outside Wales to name something for which we're famous, and the odds are that the name of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch on Anglesey would rank in their top five.

But what's really in a place name?
Should Beddau in Rhondda Cynon Taf be pronounced "Bather", as many of the locals do, or "Beth-eye" according to its roots in Welsh?
A group of geographical and historical experts from around Wales say Welsh place names are particularly important, as they tend to be descriptive of the conditions at the time of naming, whereas English place-names are subject to obscure influences from Latin, German, French and Scandinavian languages.
Despite the rich source of information which they could hold, Wales does not have a national place-name body monitoring trends and derivations, as does Scotland, England and Northern Ireland.
Yet a conference this weekend, organised by The Snowdonia National Park, Cymdeithas Edward Llwyd and the Welsh Assembly Government is aiming to change that, by drawing together historians, geographers and linguists to form Wales' own place name society.
Twm Elias of Snowdonia's Plas Tan y Bwlch study centre, has helped organise the Llên Natur conference, and explained:
"It's not so much how people pronounce place-names today, it's about recording how locations have been named, written and pronounced over time."
"People who live in Beddau are welcome to call it 'Bather' or 'Beth-eye' as they choose; it's their town after all!  But if we forget that the town's name comes from Beddau, the Welsh for graves, then we'd be losing an understanding of its possible roots as an ancient, pre-Christian burial site."
But whilst the true meaning of Beddau's name is not fully understood, many other historical, socio-economic, and environmental riddles have been solved through the study of how our ancestors named their lands.
Through the name of Dôl-y-Pennau in Snowdonia ( which translates into "Meadow of Heads"), members of the Llên Natur project were able to point archaeologists to the previously-undiscovered site of a massacre between feuding Welsh princes, which resulted in dozens of people being beheaded before their heads were discarded in a field in the area named in their memory.
A study of a concentration in eastern Wales, of places bearing the suffix 'Wern' or 'Gwern' has similarly lent fresh understanding to the trade links between medieval Wales and the Norman Marcher states.
Gwern derives from the Welsh for alder tree, the willow-like wood from which was used to manufacture clogs for agricultural workers.
While the trees are native throughout Wales, the frequency of Wern and Gwern in the east of the country pointed historians towards studying potential sites where they may have been grown on a commercial basis, for sale to agricultural areas over the border in Herefordshire and Shropshire.
But not all the discoveries are of a purely historical nature.
The pine marten, a small mammal once native to Wales, is now facing extinction.
However, the number of places which include 'bela' - Welsh for pine marten - in their name is testament to the frequency with which they were once found here.
Conservationists are using these places as a starting point to study satellite imagery for potential sites where pine martens may one day be re-introduced into the wild.
This weekend's conference is the culmination of years of work by Duncan Brown, a Welsh-speaker whose work for the Countryside Council for Wales led to his fascination with the links between  language and environment.
But he warned: "It's sometimes dangerous to read too much into place names, or to take them too literally."
"For example, places with 'eos' suffixes derive from the Welsh for nightingale.  They're no longer native to Wales, and there's some debate whether they ever were.
"Yet there are two clusters of 'eos' names in Wales, one around Carmarthenshire and Glamorganshire, and another in the north, centred around Denbighshire  and northern Powys."
"The south Wales group are prefixed with terms like 'llwyn', a copse, or 'y-pant' , a hollow, which correspond with the natural habitat of nightingales."
"However, the group in the north have prefixes like 'llety'r', from the Welsh for a tavern or inn.
"So the reference to nightingale is far more likely to have originated from someone who sung there, with the voice of a nightingale."
Message of importance
The Llên Natur conference is being opened with an address by Culture Minister Alun Ffred Jones.
Mr Brown is hoping this will prove indicative of more concrete support for the project.
"It's fantastic to have Alun Ffred along to speak anyway, as it's a real recognition of the hard work everyone has put in," he said.
"Everyone knows that there's not much money to go around at the moment, but inexpensive things could make a big difference."
"We've already made a huge start on a database of place-names and their origins on the Llên Natur website, and with access to support from the assembly (government) we could go even further."
"Also, some within the group would like to see legislation brought before the assembly to prevent historic Welsh place names becoming anglicised or changed altogether to ones with no local significance."
"Even if the resources weren't available to police it rigorously, the simple presence of legislation would send out a message of the importance that Welsh place names continue to have to this day."
