Erling Haaland was once again expertly stopped by the Arsenal centre-back duo of William Saliba and Gabriel as both sides settled for a goalless draw.
Erling Haaland's nightmare run against William Saliba continued as the Norwegian striker failed to make a dent in the Arsenal rear-guard at the Etihad Stadium.
Haaland was once again trusted to provide the required firepower for Pep Guardiola's men but the 23-year-old came up short.
The hosts had scored in every single game at the Etihad and were looking to do so again =, but met the immovable Arsenal defence.
This was Haaland's 5th meeting with Arsenal since arriving in England and his fourth against Saliba.
