Arsenal again found themselves lacking in attack as Mesut Ozil pulled back for Hector Bellerin to send a shot goalwards - it was blocked into the path of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain but the England man could not making telling contact and Marc-Andre ter Stegen saved all-too easily despite being in a prone position.
