Gunners boss rues costly Cazorla absence

Arsene Wenger bemoaned the absence of Santi Cazorla after Arsenal was held to a drab goalless draw by struggling Middlesbrough.

Cazorla did not feature at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday and the Spanish midfielder was sorely missed by the spluttering Gunners.

Arsenal was frustrated by Middlesbrough as it wasted a chance to win for a seventh successive Premier League game and eighth in all competitions.
