Shkodran Mustafi insists Arsenal must use their performance in Sunday’s goalless draw at Chelsea as a starting point for success this season.
The Gunners took their first Premier League point from Stamford Bridge since 2011 as they held the reigning champions to a 0-0 stalemate.
Arsenal arguably could have won the game as Aaron Ramsey hit a post and Alexandre Lacazette blazed the rebound over from close-range, before David Luiz was shown a straight red card for Chelsea in the closing stages for a foul on Sead Kolasinac.
Despite having to settle for a share of the spoils, Arsene Wenger’s side were much better than in the recent 4-0 defeat at Liverpool before the international break.
Now Mustafi, who saw a second-half header ruled out for offside, wants to build on the display moving forward.
“We are a team that are willing to learn,” he told arsenal.com .
“I think that we have to try and build from something and I think we can build form this performance because we were really well organised when we didn’t have the ball.
“When we had the ball, we played some brilliant one-touch football. I think we can build from this. We played against the champions of last season and if you play like this, I think you’ll get a lot of points. We can build from that.”
