It was a thrilling, engrossing and enthralling Premier League encounter, albeit it did not produce a single goal as Manchester City and Arsenal shared the points in their huge title-chasing clash at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Arsenal defended doggedly away from home and were the happier of the two sides at the end of the match in a dramatic stalemate.
Neither Manchester City or Arsenal could land a telling blow in the Premier League title race on Sunday after a tense and cautious stalemate at the Etihad.
In a match where so much was expected of the attacking players on both sides, it was the two defences that were on top throughout.
Goalmouth action was at a premium. Nathan Ake mistimed a header from close range in the first half for City, while Gabriel Jesus just failed to connect with a low Bukayo Saka cross just after half-time.
A match marked by a lack of clear cut chances was summed up when a flicked on header went under the foot of Erling Haaland at the back post late in the second half.
The result means that Liverpool stay on top of the Premier League table. Arsenal trail by two points, with City a point behind them.
