The two sides drew 0-0 at the Emirates Stadium last night

Arsenal and Liverpool played out an entertaining 0-0 draw last night with both goalkeepers coming out on top, in particular Petr Cech, who made two phenomenal saves to deny Christian Benteke and Philippe Coutinho respectively.

The game was played under lights at the Emirates Stadium, but sadly for fans of both sides, no goals were scored as both Cech and Simon Mignolet could not be beaten.

However, a point will probably satisfy the travelling fans, who witnessed their side lose 4-1 in North London last year, and it also keeps their unbeaten start to the season, following two wins.

As for Arsenal, it’s yet another miserable start for them, picking up just four points.

But what things stood out the most about last night’s match? Well SillySeason are now going to highlight five things that we learnt from watching the goalless draw.

5) Calum Chambers is not ready

Just before kick-off it was revealed that both Laurent Koscielny and Per Mertesacker would be missing the game through illness and injuries, leaving Arsenal with Calum Chambers and Gabriel Paulista playing at centre-back.

Although Gabriel looked comfortable and convincing, the same cannot be said for young Chambers who consistently gave the ball away and failed to quieten Christian Benteke.

Somehow in the first-half Arsenal didn’t concede and a lot of Liverpool‘s pressure came when Chambers panicked and gave the ball away.

Arsene Wenger has big hopes for Chambers and believes he will be a crucial part of Arsenal’s long-term future, but after last night’s showing, it’s clear he has a long way to go.
