Arsenal vs Liverpool - player ratings

Standard Sport assesses the individual performances from Arsenal's 0-0 draw with Liverpool at Emirates Stadium.

Both the hosts and Brendan Rodgers' men enjoyed a half of dominance on Monday - but neither side could find a winning goal to take the three points.

The visitors will be the more frustrated having started brightly against a Gunners defence severely weakened by the enforced absences of Per Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny - with Calum Chambers enduring a particularly fraught evening.

But, if Arsenal's defence showed weakness new goalkeeper Petr Cech showed just why Arsene Wenger was so determined to bring him to the club, twice denying Liverpool superbly in the opening 45 minutes, with Brendan Rodgers' side also hitting the woodwork twice.

It was a different story after the break as Arsenal dominated, also hitting the post through Alexis Sanchez and working Simon Mignolet on a number of occasions.

A first-half 'goal' from Aaron Ramsey which was incorrectly ruled offside will rankle the home side, who are without a win or a goal from their first two home games of the campaign, with any move for Karim Benzema apparently dead after the France striker posted a social network message calling Real Madrid 'home'.
