Arsenal's four-match winning run ended with a goalless draw against
Everton, a result that did neither side much good in their Champions
League quest.
The Toffees, who were fortunate not to have Darron
Gibson sent off, started brightly and went close through Steven Pienaar
and the lively Ross Barkley.
Olivier Giroud was wasteful for Arsenal, now two points clear of fifth-placed Spurs having played a game more.
Giroud was denied by Seamus Coleman's clearance as Everton secured a point.
The Toffees thoroughly deserved a draw in what was a fiercely contested encounter, and are now unbeaten in six league games.
But David Moyes' side, now within two points of fourth-placed Chelsea but having played two games more, were unable to find the goal that would have really improved their prospects of playing in next season's Champions League.
