ARSENAL DRAW AGAINST STOKE

Arsenal are still searching for their first goal of the season as they shared a tame goalless draw with Stoke.

Santi Cazorla was again their most impressive performer and tested Asmir Begovic but others struggled to create any clear-cut opportunities.

Lukas Podolski had an early effort that hit the falling Andy Wilkinson's arm while Olivier Giroud's shot was just over as Arsenal finished strongly.

Stoke's Jon Walters was also wasteful and had no power in his late shot.
