It was a bizarre and frustrating night for fans across the Premier League as goals proved to be a rare commodity, with three of the four matches ending in goalless draws. The run of stalemates on Monday night played perfectly into Arsenal’s hands, allowing the Gunners to extend their lead at the top of the table without even kicking a ball.
At Anfield, Liverpool were held to a 0-0 draw by a resilient Leeds United side. Despite dominating possession and creating several half-chances, Jürgen Klopp’s men struggled to break down a disciplined Leeds defence. Mohamed Salah and Darwin Núñez both came close, but poor finishing and solid goalkeeping ensured the points were shared.
Manchester City also endured a frustrating evening as they were surprisingly held 0-0 by Sunderland. Pep Guardiola’s side controlled the game but lacked their usual sharpness in the final third. Sunderland defended deep and absorbed pressure well, earning a valuable point against the reigning champions.
Tottenham Hotspur faced a similar fate away at Brentford, with the match ending 0-0. Spurs enjoyed spells of control, but Brentford’s compact setup and physical approach disrupted their rhythm. Clear-cut chances were limited, and neither side managed to find a decisive breakthrough.
