Arsenal produced a dominant first-half display in their Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid at the Emirates but failed to find the net.
The Gunners did have the ball in the back of the net midway through the opening 45, only for the goal to be disallowed for an offside against Gabriel Martinelli.
Eberechi Eze’s deflected early strike hit the crossbar, while Myles Lewis-Skelly dragged a left-footed shot wide.
Going into the match, Mikel Arteta’s side had a perfect record in the Champions League so far this term, following wins against Athletic Club and Olympiacos.
Their defence are yet to be breached in the competition, but goalkeeper David Raya nearly gifted Atletico an opener when he rushed off his line and was nearly made to pay.
Arteta’s men are enjoying a strong start in all competitions this season. As well as performing impressively in Europe, the north Londoners are currently three points clear at the top of the Premier League, having conceded just three goals in eight top-flight games.
The Gunners also boast a run of six wins in their last six outings against Spanish sides – a Champions League record.
