Wenger bemoans Arsenal fatigue

Arsenal's disappointing draw with Sunderland was down to fatigue, according to the manager.

Arsene Wenger pointed to fatigue as the key factor in Arsenal's 0-0 Premier League draw with Sunderland.

Wenger's men were left frustrated as Sunderland held on in the face of consistent pressure from Arsenal to ensure its Premier League survival.

The result still effectively seals third place and an automatic spot in the UEFA Champions League for Arsenal because of its superior goal difference over Manchester United.

Wenger told Sky Sports: "We couldn't score and Sunderland defended well which is understandable because they knew they could be safe tonight.
