Arsenal were held to a 0–0 draw by Liverpool in their English Premier League encounter on Thursday, as both sides failed to find a breakthrough in a tightly contested match.
Despite several chances at both ends, neither team could convert their opportunities, and the fixture ended without a goal.
The Gunners came into the game with a five-point lead, after Manchester City and Aston Villa both dropped points on Wednesday.
City were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Brighton, while Villa played out a goalless draw at Crystal Palace.
But Mikel Arteta’s men failed to capitalize on these results, as they also dropped points against the champions.
Despite starting well and dominating, Arsenal did not score any goals and spent the second half containing Liverpool.
They now have 49 points and remain six points ahead of City and Villa.
