Arsenal had earlier been held to a 0-0 draw by Middlesbrough, while fourth-place Tottenham Hotspur played out a goalless stalemate at Bournemouth. “I’m really pleased with the performance,” Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp told Sky Sports. Arsenal dominated the second half, but had goalkeeper Petr Cech to thank for ensuring the visitors’ counter-attacks came to nought. Xherdan Shaqiri scored two stunning goals -- the second a free-kick -- as Stoke City won 2-0 at Hull City to climb out of the relegation zone at their hosts’ expense. Swansea City stayed second from bottom after Bob Bradley’s first home game as manager concluded in a 0-0 draw with Watford.
