Arsenal dominate possession, but fail to create any chances
It is not very often that a team with over 60% possession fail to work the goalkeeper even once during the game. But, that is precisely what happened with Arsenal, as Wenger’s side were unable to wrestle control of the midfield and create any clear cut chances.
The closest Arsenal came to a goal, was the two chances Giroud was provided with, on the back of some slick passing. The first one was blasted wide and the second was blocked by Cech’s knees. For a side, famed for creating chances, Arsenal never really got going in this game.
