Arsenal 0-0 Chelsea:Arsenal move level with Liverpool at the top of the table

Wenger didn't beat Mourinho but Arsenal move level with Liverpool at the top of the table because of Liverpool's better goal differential. Chelsea plays better in the first half, it was mission accomplished by Chelsea, and a not particularly pretty mission.

      


Henry Winter said "There was more entertainment to be had watching Arsène Wenger taking three attempts to zip up his long sleeping-bag coat at the start of the second half. In keeping with football guaranteed to trigger drowsiness, “Snorefest” was the succinct tweeted verdict from Rio Ferdinand."

This game is not only boring but also a ugly game. As the referee for this game, Mike Dean, he unfortunately failed perform like a good referee as his (non) calls heavily factored into the result of the game.

Some fans leave a comment as "Who wants to bet Mike Dean lost his cards?" To cap off a bad game, Dean would let the game descend into a messy, physical period for large stretches of the second half as he allowed cheap stuff to go on.
