Arsenal denied by resolute City

05 January 2011 22:30
Arsenal twice hit the woodwork as somehow Barclays Premier League title rivals Manchester City left Emirates Stadium with a point after a 0-0 draw. Robin van Persie and Cesc Fabregas both saw their first-half shots come back of the base of the same post. City then had goalkeeper Joe Hart to thank after he produced a wonderful fingertip save to deny van Persie on the hour as Arsenal had to be content with only a point. The teams each finished with 10 men after full-backs Pablo Zabaleta and Bacary Sagna were shown straight red cards by referee Mike Jones for a needless clash by the touchline.
