At the other end, Ezgjan Alioski created a tidy pass for Patrick Bamford but the Englishman did not get enough touch on the ball to trouble Bernd Leno.
Nicolas Pepe mesmerized his way on the right flank in the 90th minute but his cross came off the cross-bar in the 20th minute.
Bamford also had a stroke of luck as his left-foot shot forces another fine save from Leno kept the scores at 0-0.
Just before half-time, Jack Harrison moved brilliantly down the left as released a cut-back but Mateusz Klich could not keep his shot down.
The second half did not also produce any goal but six minutes after the restart, Pepe was given his marching orders after head-butting Alioski.
The best chance of the match fell to substitute Bukayo Saka who had a one-on-one chance with the keeper to beat but Illan Meslier went down well to make a save.
Rafinha hit the post in the final minutes of the game as both sides shared the points but Marcelo Bielsa will be the more disappointed manager.
