Arsenal 0-0 Everton Stats: Gunners Held to Frustrating Draw

Arsenal were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw against Everton at the Emirates on Saturday. Check out the best facts and Opta data in our Arsenal vs Everton stats page.

A frustrating 0-0 draw with Everton at the Emirates meant Arsenal could not capitalise on Liverpool‘s slip-up against Fulham. The Reds dropped points at home to the Cottagers, and Arsenal suffered a similar fate in north London.

It was a disjointed afternoon for the hosts, who dominated possession but were unable to find a breakthrough. Despite holding 76.6% possession, Arsenal managed just 13 shots and recorded an expected goals (xG) tally of 1.4. Mikel Arteta’s side struggled to create any clear-cut chances.

Everton deserve credit for that. Sean Dyche’s men worked tirelessly to secure a well-earned point. Though they failed to register a shot on target—the first time that has happened in a Premier League game since facing Wolves last December—they defended resolutely, soaking up Arsenal’s pressure with relative ease.

For Arsenal, this will feel like a huge missed opportunity to close the gap on league leaders Liverpool. The six-point gap remains, with the Reds still holding a game in hand.
