Arsenal was again forced to settle for a draw in the Premier League, this time at home to Everton.

It is now back-to-back Premier League games in which Arsenal has dominated every facet of the game yet couldn't manage to claim three points.

The Gunners' 0-0 draw with Everton at the Emirates had a lot of emotions, one being frustration as Arsenal created ample chances, but a stubborn Toffees backline held the home team at bay.

With Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard having "off days" the Gunners failed to create many clear-cut chances, meaning Everton didn't really have to do too much to escape with a point.

It is now four points dropped in two games for Arsenal, and that isn't ideal.

While the two draws will sting the Gunners, we are about to run salt into the wounds because Liverpool, who are currently leading Arsenal in the title race by two points with a game in hand, have also drawn their last two outings.

So Arsenal has had two chances to bridge the gap between itself and Arne Slot's team but failed both times, and we can be fairly certain that Liverpool's little "slump" won't last too much longer.

It was a great chance to put pressure on Liverpool, and the Gunners failed both times.

Arsenal's next two games against Crystal Palace are the EFL Quarter-Final and the league at the weekend.

While it might be early in the season, the Gunners can't afford to be wasting too many more chances to close the gap on the league leaders.
