Arsenal held to goalless draw at Nottingham Forest - but should Gunners have been awarded penalty?

Arsenal stumble in draw against resilient Forest

Arsenal may have stretched their lead at the top of Premier League to seven points on Saturday, but the goalless draw at Nottingham Forest will have left many Gunners fans reflecting on another missed opportunity.

Manchester City's 2-0 loss at Old Trafford offered Arsenal the chance to move nine points clear at the top of the table, but Mikel Arteta's side were left frustrated for the second league match running.

Having drawn 0-0 against Liverpool last week, it is the first time Arsenal have had consecutive stalemates in the top flight for 14 years - since the opening two games of the 2012-13 season against Sunderland and Stoke City.

While Arteta pointed to his side creating "four big chances" without facing a single shot on target from Forest, winger Noni Madueke admitted it felt like "a missed opportunity".
