Arsenal could not find a way past the Everton defence
Arsenal’s Premier League title hopes were dealt another blow as they were held to a 0-0 draw at home Everton.
Liverpool’s draw with Fulham means that the Gunners did not lose further ground on the league leaders, still six points behind having played a game more, but this was a hugely frustrating afternoon for Mikel Arteta’s side.
Martin Odegaard had three first-half opportunities, one sent over the bar, one wide and the other forcing Jordan Pickford into a good save.
The England goalkeeper was called upon again inside a minute of the second-half when Bukayo Saka lashed a volley towards the near post, but Pickford got down brilliantly.
There was otherwise little in the way of clear-cut chances, for all Arsenal dominated possession and camped themselves in the Everton half, and the Gunners could not produce any late drama.
