Brendan Rodgers left the Emirates Stadium feeling that Liverpool could have been heading home with three points, but took satisfaction from both their performance and a third straight shutout.
After winning each of their opening two games of the season, the Reds travelled to North London to face Arsenal with confidence high and another victory the target.
That approach was reflected in their display, especially in the first half, when Philippe Coutinho struck the woodwork twice and Gunners goalkeeper Petr Cech made numerous crucial saves.
Arsene Wenger’s team rallied in the second period and had promising chances of their own, but the away side continued to press for a winner themselves.
“We definitely could have had all three points,” Rodgers reflected afterwards. “Certainly performance-wise, I was very happy with how we worked.
“The first half in particular we created chances and should have been in front. Second half, you expect some pressure in the game, but we defended that very well and always looked a threat going forward.
“Our performance level is growing all the time, you see our defensive organization was very good against a top-class team. The overriding feeling is we get a point, a clean sheet and we move to the next game.”
