Arsenal were held to a goalless draw by Athletic Bilbao in the NextGen Series at the San Mames on Thursday night. The visitors conceded a penalty midway through the half but Reice Charles-Cook came to their rescue with a fine save.
Penalty taker Guillermo Fernandez was then sent off for elbowing Sead Hajrovic but Arsenal were unable to take advantage of the extra man. The other game in the group, between Olympiakos and Marseille, finished 1-1.
Arsenal now lie third in their group, three points behind Marseille and one behind Olympiakos, with one game remaining to play.
