Arsenal’s push for the Premier League title hit a frustrating roadblock on Thursday night as they were held to a 0-0 draw by reigning champions Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium.
Despite a vibrant atmosphere fueled by a packed crowd in north London, neither side could find the breakthrough in a tightly contested encounter that saw chances at a premium.
Okay News reports that the result keeps Mikel Arteta’s side at the top of the table, though they missed the opportunity to extend their lead to eight points following slip-ups by Manchester City and Aston Villa. The Gunners welcomed back key players Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard to the starting lineup, but Liverpool’s depleted squad—missing Mohamed Salah due to AFCON duty and Alexander Isak through injury—proved resilient defensively.
Liverpool, currently ninth and trailing the leaders by 14 points, will see the point as a stabilizing result after a turbulent run of form since November.
For Arsenal, the focus remains on maintaining their advantage as the season intensifies, with manager Mikel Arteta praising his team’s effort during a demanding festive period despite the lack of goals.
