Arsenal's Premier League title challenge took a slight dent on Tuesday night as they played out a tense 0-0 draw with Newcastle United at the Emirates Stadium.
The hosts started lively, looking full of confidence after their impressive 4-2 win against Brighton on New Year's Day. However, the Magpies' defence was resilient as they recorded their sixth successive clean sheet - the first time anyone had shut out the Gunners in the league this term.
Despite struggling to create many meaningful openings, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta decided to make just one substitution, bringing on right-back Takehiro Tomiyasu for Ben White in the second half. The likes of Kieran Tierney and Fabio Vieira were both left on the bench, a decision that Manchester United legend Gary Neville picked up on.
