The French manager, however, criticised two decisions that went against his team during the game, decisions from the referee.

We looked bit flat – Wenger
“It is two points lost,” said the Frenchman. “It was a game of high intensity and in the first half we’d always looked like we could score every time we crossed the halfway line. But in the second half we were a bit more flat, physically, and less sharp. Technically the level dropped in the second half.

“We couldn’t find creativity around the box and all the vision we are used to. Our level dropped. We were a bit too stretched as well and not compact enough and, when you are too stretched, you run more.
Was there a mental blow when they equalised? I don’t know. I cannot question the spirit but we looked a bit flat. We gave absolutely everything but we lacked what we are strong at – the fluency of movement, vision around the box – and we usually play better from the back.
There was a lot missing and plenty of aspects I did not like. The desire was there, but we were too nervous.”
