Arsenal endured a frustrating evening at the Emirates Stadium as they were held to a goalless draw by Everton in the Premier League.
Despite dominating possession and peppering the visitors’ defense with 13 attempts, the Gunners failed to find a way past a resilient Everton side, who managed just one effort in the entire match.
The Toffees’ lone chance came early, in the sixth minute, when Abdoulaye Doucoure broke through on goal.
However, his hesitation allowed Gabriel to recover and block his angled strike, extinguishing what turned out to be the game’s most dangerous opportunity.
From there, Arsenal took control, but Everton’s disciplined defense limited their ability to carve out clear chances.
Martin Odegaard came close on two occasions, first dragging a shot wide and later forcing Jordan Pickford into action with a deflected effort.
The England goalkeeper produced a spectacular save at the start of the second half, reacting sharply to deny Bukayo Saka.
Despite Arsenal’s relentless pressure, Everton’s defense held firm, leaving the hosts to settle for a point.
