Arsenal held to frustrating goalless draw by Everton

Arsenal missed the chance to close the gap on Premier League leaders Liverpool, drawing 0-0 against Everton at home.

Despite dominating possession with 76% and firing 13 shots, Mikel Arteta's side could not break down Everton’s solid defense. Everton managed just two shots, with Abdoulaye Doucoure missing their best opportunity early on.

Arsenal struggled to create clear chances, with Martin Ødegaard and Bukayo Saka both unable to score. Saka was denied by a brilliant save from Everton's goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, who also made key stops against Ødegaard.

The result leaves Arsenal third, six points behind Liverpool, who drew 2-2 with Fulham, having played one game more.
