It was a tough nut to crack as the host threatened in the early half, but Ox failed to give his side a lead after getting on it in the opposition box.
Lionel Messi fired Barcelona to a 2-0 away victory over Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday to give them the advantage in their Champions League last-16 tie.
It took 72 minutes for the deadline to be broken, but the Argentine was on hand to give Luis Enrique’s men a solid lead as they look to get the job done at Camp Nou in the second leg.
Both sides enjoyed chances throughout the game and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain wasted the first huge one for Arsenal in the 22nd minute when a loose ball fell to him inside the box, but the attacker’s effort was straight at Marc-Andre ter Steven.
Arsenal have to work hard or maybe needing a huge luck to get through to the next round if they meet Barcelona on the second leg.
