Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech: Middlesbrough deserved point

Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech admits a point was a "fair result" against Middlesbrough.

The Czech Republic goalkeeper made a number of important saves to preserve his clean sheet, but believes that the Gunners' impatience up front cost them victory at Emirates Stadium.

"We had a lot of possession but I think we rushed a little bit in the final third," he told Arsenal Player.

"We could have kept our cool better in the final third to find a better pass, to have better opportunities to score. We had a few shots where the goalkeeper did very well but in the end we didn't find the goal - which is a shame.

"Overall, they had plenty of chances as well so I think we have to say maybe a draw is a fair result."
