Manchester City and Arsenal played to a 0-0 draw at the Etihad Stadium on 31 March. The result left Arsenal in second place and Manchester City in third. Liverpool moved to the top of the Premier League table earlier that day following a 2-1 victory against Brighton and Hove Albion, according to the Premier League.
Arsenal defended deeply and restricted City to few clear opportunities. Nathan Ake left the pitch with an injury during the first half and was replaced by Rico Lewis. Gabriel Jesus had the best chances for the visitors but missed the target on two occasions, per Sky Sports.
This outcome ended a sequence of eight consecutive home league wins for Manchester City against the North London club. City dominated 72 percent of possession but registered only one shot on target throughout the match. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said his team made a big step in terms of belief during the post-match interview, according to The Guardian.
