Narrative:

During the abc arrival to ZZZ we descended from FL390 to cross abc intersection at FL230. Airspeed was 300 KIAS as requested by ZZZ center. Approaching FL230 the first officer noticed something wrong with the electrical system. As the power levers were increased we realized the left engine had failed. We started the APU and went through the engine failure checklist. The APU came on line and restored electrical power to normal. The left engine had normal N1 and N2 indications. Low oil pressure was the only abnormal indication. We were well within displayed airstart parameters and tried an airstart. When the left fuel control lever was selected on there was zero fuel flow indicated. We shut off the fuel lever; declared an emergency; and landed on runway xr at ZZZ without incident. Total single engine time was about 20 mins. WX was VFR throughout the event.
