Arsenal and Liverpool ended in a frustrating 0β0 draw at the Emirates Stadium, denying the Gunners a chance to stretch their Premier League lead over Manchester City to eight points. It was a rare outcome between the two giants, marking their first goalless league draw since August 2015βafter an incredible 79 goals had been scored across their previous 20 league meetings.
Despite dominating large spells, Arsenal failed to convert clear first-half chances. One effort from Connor Bradley struck the post, summing up a night of missed opportunities for the league leaders.

Chaos as All Top Four Drop Points Liverpool
The Arsenal-Liverpool draw was part of a dramatic Premier League day in which every top-four side stumbled. Manchester City were held 1β1 by Brighton, missing a chance to close the gap at the top. Aston Villa also failed to capitalise, settling for a goalless draw away at Crystal Palace to remain level with City on 43 points.
Elsewhere, Manchester United continued their struggles despite a coaching change. Under interim boss Darren Fletcher, United drew 2β2 with bottom-side Burnley after conceding a late equaliser.

Chelseaβs woes deepened further as they fell 2β1 to Fulham, playing most of the match with 10 men following Marc Cucurellaβs early red card. The defeat kept the Blues behind Manchester United in seventh place.
With points dropped across the board, the Premier League title race remains wide openβbut Arsenal will feel they missed a golden chance to tighten their grip.
