"Arsenal missed the chance to go eight points clear at the top of the Premier League as they were held to a frustrating goalless draw by Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium. A run of three straight draws for Manchester City gave Mikel Arteta's leaders a chance to further stretch their advantage at the summit, but they produced a lacklustre attacking performance to frustrate their home fans."
"And Liverpool went agonisingly close in the 27th minute after a mix-up between William Saliba and David Raya. Saliba's poor back pass forced Raya into a rushed clearance, and after seizing upon the loose ball, Conor Bradley saw his delicate lob bounce off the crossbar. Neither team created a better opportunity than that for the remainder of the contest, with Arsenal not attempting a single shot between the 45th minute and second-half stoppage time."
"Dominik Szoboszlai who scored a stunning free-kick in the reverse fixture sent another dead-ball effort onto the roof of the net, while Arsenal finally fired off three shots after the fourth official's board went up. However, Gabriel Magalhaes hit the side netting from the best of those half-chances, while tempers boiled over when Gabriel Martinelli attempted to push Bradley who was down with a serious-looking knee injury that led him to be carried off over the sideline."

Late chances included Gabriel Magalhaes hitting the side netting. Gabriel Martinelli clashed with Bradley, who suffered a serious-looking knee injury and was carried off.
