Brendan Rodgers labelled Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech “man of the match” after a fine performance by the visitors in which the only disappointment was their failure to beat the keeper.
A series of spectacular saves late in the first half kept the home side in the game, with a low block from Christian Benteke the stand out stop from Cech.
Had it not been for the summer signing Liverpool would likely have entered half-time with a convincing league, as the visitors’ high-pressing game disrupted Arsene Wenger’s makeshift backline of Calum Chambers and Gabriel.
And Rodgers was left pleased with a third consecutive clean sheet, if a touch frustrated that his side didn’t get the result their performance warranted.
The Liverpool manager told the BBC: "I thought we were very good. First half Petr Cech was the man of the match. Second half we were always a threat going forward. The players worked ever so hard."

"I thought we were outstanding, we showed everything,” Rodgers told Sky Sports. “You heard Petr Cech getting a round of applause for the saves he made.
"Both goalkeepers made good saves. A really good clean sheet against a top team. We saw how our team is growing. Nothing to add on any transfers."
