Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says they had a goal dissallowed wrongly in the first half of last nights scoreless draw with Liverpool.
Aaron Ramsey had the ball in the net in the first half but was ruled offside even though replays showed he was onside.
The Gunners created 19 chances and Wenger is disappointed his team didn't take any of them.
Liverpool have yet to concede a goal in the league this season and lie two points behind leader Manchester City in third place.
Good solid performance from the team & another clean sheet just couldn't find the goal. Our fans were great again 👊🼠pic.twitter.com/qQcZnvyrwI
