Petr Cech calls for calm in attack after Arsenal are held to Middlesbrough draw: 'We could have kept our cool better in the final third'

Petr Cech has questioned Arsenal's decision making after their 0-0 draw against Middlesbrough on Saturday.

The Gunners were held by the newly promoted visitors at the Emirates just four days after beating Ludogorets 6-0 in the Champions League. Cech had to make a trio of impressive saves to keep Middlesbrough at bay.

However, the goalkeeper instead chose to focus on a lack of composure in attacking positions from his team-mates.
