From the source
Liverpool’s lack of cutting edge in attack against Arsenal could be summed up by the fact that they failed to produce a shot on target.
Despite the Reds holding 56 percent of possession and producing 1.15xG to Arsenal’s 0.96xG, the visitors took three points home from Anfield. And that was largely due to Liverpool’s inaccuracy around the box.
Liverpool had 17 shots against Arsenal but put none on target, according to Opta. It was, therefore, the first time in 442 Anfield league matches that Liverpool officially failed to place a shot on target, since records began in 2003.
