LONDON -- A frustrated Arsene Wenger said Arsenal lacked their usual creativity and sharp movement in the 0-0 draw against Middlesbrough on Saturday, and added that fatigue may have been a factor after playing in midweek.
Arsenal had 75 percent possession but couldn't find a breakthrough at the Emirates as their six-game winning streak in the Premier League came to a grinding halt.
It was the visitors who had the better chances, with Cech making two crucial saves in the first half to preserve a clean sheet.
"We did not have our usual pace in our combinations, and not enough sharpness in our movement," Wenger, who turned 67 on Saturday, said.
