Liverpool and Man City Held Scoreless as Arsenal Extends Lead

Arsenal's cushion grows after rivals are held scoreless.

Overview

  • Liverpool are held 0:0 by Leeds at Anfield despite long spells of control, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s 81st-minute finish disallowed for offside.
  • Florian Wirtz struggles to influence the match and is replaced by Cody Gakpo in the 66th minute after a muted display.
  • Manager Arne Slot laments Liverpool’s lack of cutting edge, noting that heavy possession failed to produce enough clear chances against a compact defense.
  • The draw leaves Liverpool fourth after 19 matches and 12 points behind leaders Arsenal, while Leeds extend an unbeaten run to six and keep a seven-point buffer above the relegation zone.
  • Manchester City draw 0:0 at Sunderland to end their winning streak, widening Arsenal’s advantage to four points as Sunderland remain unbeaten at home.
