Arsenal go top of the EPL on a goalless draw against Stoke City

Gunners have gone back to the top of the table in the English Premier League with a goalless draw at Britannia Stadium this evening after the both team's shot stoppers gained acclamations.



Arsenal needed a point to move ahead of Manchester City and Leicester City in a Stadium where they have only won once in era of Premier League, and Gunners were denied the opportunity by brilliance of Stoke keeper Butland, who spread himself to transverse Giroud in a one-on-one situation.


The Gunners were without the key players with the like of Ozil, who is the Premier League assist leader due to a foot injury, while Sanchez was not among despite nearing a return from a hamstring problem.
