EPL: Advantage For Liverpool As Man City, Arsenal Share Spoil

Manchester City and Arsenal played a 0-0 draw in a highly-anticipated clash at the top of the Premier League.

The two clubs failed to live up to the hype in the match played at the Etihad stadium on Sunday.

Liverpool are now top of the table, two points clear of Arsenal and three ahead of City,

Arsenal’s containing tactics frustrated City while the Gunners had only limited chances of their own in a desperately poor affair.

Nathan Ake had an early close-range header saved by Arsenal keeper David Raya before going off injured while former City striker Gabriel Jesus posed an occasional threat, just failing to connect with Bukayo Saka’s cross inches from goal after the break.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will be happier than City counterpart Pep Guardiola with this outcome – but the real winners were Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool.

Liverpool were the big winners of the day in the title race as they beat Brighton 2-1 to go top, two points ahead of Arsenal and three clear of City with nine games to play.
