Manager Mikel Arteta will be hoping that the Gunners do not look back on this performance and result with regret come May.
His team has been outstanding this season, yet they fell short on this occasion.

While Arsenal remains in a strong position, this draw could prove beneficial in the long run. However, after facing a Liverpool team missing a key striker, the Gunners might feel they could have pushed harder for a home win.
Arteta made attempts to change the game’s momentum by bringing on Gabriel Jesus, Eberechi Eze, Noni Madueke, and Gabriel Martinelli, but the substitutions didn’t prevent Liverpool from dominating the second half.
It was also a frustrating night for summer signing Viktor Gyokeres, who was taken off in the 64th minute after failing to register a single shot.
Gyokeres had no shortage of chances, as several Arsenal crosses went across the goal without being met.
Could Arsenal consider this draw acceptable given their impressive season and the fact that their closest rivals are not currently exerting maximum pressure? Only time will tell.
