Arsenal fail to close gap on Liverpool as the Gunners were held by Everton

The Gunners came into the game on the back of a comfortable 3-0 victory against Monaco on Wednesday night in the UEFA Champions League.

However, they were unable to build on their impressive midweek game as Everton’s defensive approach 

Arsenal made three changes to the side that defeated Monaco on Wednesday, with Gabriel fit to start after an injury.

Everton made just one change to their team to face Arsenal after the Merseyside derby against Liverpool was called off a week ago.

The Gunners dominated the game in the first half but failed to get the ball into the back of the net until the halftime whistle.

The second half started and Arsenal continued from where they stopped in the first half. However, they could not break down the Everton side.

Everton's defensive stability denied Arteta’s men many opportunities in the game and frustrated Arsenal, who had to settle for a draw.
