Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said his side were “unbelievable” despite being held to a 0-0 home draw against Everton, also on a day when Liverpool failed to pick up maximum points.
Just a week after the failed to win against Fulham, Arsenal recorded just yet another point as the Toffees held them to a stalemate on Saturday at the Emirates.
The Gunners remain six points behind Liverpool having played a game more, with the 10-man Reds twice coming from behind in a 2-2 draw at Anfield.
Arteta’s side, who have been runners-up for the last two campaigns, are also a point behind Chelsea, who welcome Brentford to Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
Arsenal amassed 76% of possession and mustered a total of 13 shots, but could not breakdown a resilient Everton team who had only two shots throughout the contest.
“We’re very disappointed not to win the game because if there was a team obviously that deserved to win it that was Arsenal,” Arteta said.
“We did everything that was necessary overall apart from the fact that we didn’t score a goal. We conceded absolutely nothing, dominated all the direct play, didn’t allow them to run and conceded no set pieces.
“But we go there in so many occasions, we created three or four big chances, didn’t score from there… at the end you want to be rewarded for what you’ve done and the difficulty is that we haven’t tonight.
“It’s all the moments that we need to have a little more composure and more quality in those moments, that’s normal. That’s it.
“Tracking back? Unbelievable. Putting in the high press? Unbelievable. Dominating a lot of things? Unbelievable, but the disappointing thing is that you want to come away winning after what you’ve done on the pitch.”
