Newcastle held Premier League leaders, Arsenal to a goalless draw on Tuesday at the Emirates stadium.

But Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta and his Newcastle counterpart Eddie Howe will take heart from the way their teams refused to give an inch against in-form opposition.Arsenal inevitably felt a touch of frustration at missing the chance to move 10 points clear of second-placed Manchester City ahead of the champions’ game in hand at Chelsea on Thursday.

It was the first time in six games – and only the second in their last 11 – that Arsenal failed to take maximum points.

Yet there was little to fault Arsenal for in a high-octane performance that could easily have yielded yet another impressive victory in a season that has defied all expectations.

Intriguingly, Arsenal have testing clashes with Tottenham and Manchester United looming in their next two league games.

For Arsenal to be in control of the title race at the start of 2023 is remarkable enough after 19 years without winning the Premier League.
