Arsenal first side to stop Conte’s Chelsea scoring at home

Chelsea’s failure to score against Arsenal was a first at Stamford Bridge since Antonio Conte took charge over a year ago.

Arsenal’s 0-0 draw against Chelsea means they are the first team to stop the Premier League champions from scoring in a competitive home game in Antonio Conte’s reign as manager.

The Blues failed to break down their rivals on Sunday, meaning they failed to net at Stamford Bridge under Conte, who took charge prior to the 2016-17 season, for the first time in 27 matches.

Arsenal, meanwhile, end a miserable defensive record at the Bridge. Prior to this match, the Gunners had not kept a Premier League clean sheet in their previous 12 visits and had conceded at least two goals in their most recent eight.

It was the first 0-0 draw between these two sides at Stamford Bridge since April 2005.
