manager Mikel Arteta had goalkeeper David Raya to thank after in their Champions League opening fixture.
Raya denied Mateo Retegui from the penalty spot and showed incredible reflexes to save the Italian s rebounded header to keep the score goalless.
The Gunners failed to create many clear-cut chances and were fortunate to leave Italy with a point.
Speaking after the draw, Arteta said: “We started the game really well. I think in the first 20-25 minutes we were really dominant against a man-to-man team which is very, very specific and difficult to play against.
