Arsenal - Chelsea stalemate at Emirates Stadium robs first slot from the Gunners

An important match for the Gunners went into a much undesired stalemate against the Blues at Emirates Stadium last night - crashing all hopes of the Gunners to stay as number one on the points table in the on going matches of the Premier League.

The dreadful stalemate with Chelsea has resulted into Arsenal being replaced with Liverpool on the top slot at Christmas - ahead of the Gunners on goal difference. Liverpool has a GD of 23, while Arsenal have GD of 16.

Although the Gunners dominated the match for most part of the play, its chargers failed to supply sufficient charge to the forwards to fire a goal right inside the goal post.

Frank Lampard came closest to breaking the deadlock when he hit the woodwork in the first half, while Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud wasted two good opportunities late on to claim the win that would have seen the Gunners leapfrog Liverpool.

Now we wait and see what is the outcome of matches after Christmas on 26 December when Liverpool plays Manchester City and Arsenal against West Ham United.
