Arsenal frustrated as Newcastle hand Man City title race opening - 5 talking points

Arsenal failed to pile more pressure on Manchester City in the title race as they were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw by Newcastle on Tuesday night.

The Gunners, who have lost just once all season, headed into the match flying high after Pep Guardiola's side dropped points in the title race earlier this week. However, they were frustrated by the Magpies, who stood firm and frustrated Arsenal in a fiery first-half.

Mikel Arteta's side tried to up the ante after the break but struggled to create clear-cut chances against their well-drilled opponents. Eddie Nketiah did have a golden opportunity to break the deadlock in the dying moments but couldn't beat Nick Pope from close range as both sides picked up a point apiece.
