Thomas Partey was in fine form for Arsenal despite their frustrating 0-0 stalemate with Newcastle United in the English Premier League on Tuesday night.
The Ghanaian international put up another solid performance in midfield at the Emirates Stadium as Mikel Arteta’s side struggled to break down the visitors.
Gabriel Martinelli went close with one header that flashed just past the back post, Bukayo Saka and Granit Xhaka also saw efforts denied. And, with three minutes remaining, Eddie Nketiah had a low drive kept out by the legs of Nick Pope as Arsenal desperately searched for a winner.
The draw moves the Gunners eight points clear at the top of the table ahead of Manchester City’s trip to Chelsea on Thursday.
