LONDON (Reuters) - Arsenal's hopes of opening a 10-point lead in the Premier League title race were dashed by Newcastle United in a 0-0 draw at The Emirates but Manchester United's fine form continued as they eased to a 3-0 home win over Bournemouth on Tuesday.
The clash between first and third in London did not live up to its billing as Arsenal were frustrated by a Newcastle side who collected a 10th league clean sheet of the season.
Newcastle have 35 from 18 matches, ahead of United on goal difference although they have played a game more. Defeat left Everton just one point above the relegation zone and with huge pressure mounting on manager Frank Lampard. Eddie Nketiah had Arsenal's best chance in the 87th minute but his low shot was superbly saved by Nick Pope.
