Arsenal 0-0 Liverpool: Gunners fail to extend gap at the top to eight points as champions hold Mikel Arteta's side to goalless stalemate in drab anti-climax
Arsenal were travelling upwards towards the light, beyond that ceiling of second place that has been their fate for the past three seasons. ‘Home is where the heat is,’ a slogan on the big screen said, and the expectation was Liverpool would move meekly aside. Instead, Liverpool blocked Arsenal’s path to the eight-point lead at the top that victory would have given Mikel Arteta’s team. They could not force a winner and the game ended in the anti-climax of a goalless draw. Arsenal dominated play.
