West Bromwich Albion manager Tony Pulis admitted his side failed to exploit Arsenal nerves during their 2-0 Premier League defeat at the Emirates on Thursday night. Alexis Sanchezs first-half double won the match for Arsenal, sending the Gunners third in the table and easing a little of the pressure on Arsene Wenger after a run of two wins in seven league games.Gareth McAuley hit the crossbar with a header for West Brom and Salomon Rondon failed to convert from a corner and Pulis admitted those missed chances were costly. We just needed a goal. I thought if we got a goal then Arsenal might get a bit nervous, but the opportunity came and went, Pulis told Sky Sports.But we werent on it tonight. We had a couple of good chances that youve got to take. We had a go but they were just off it tonight. Alexis Sanchez scored twice for Arsenal Pulis said his team, who lost at home to Watford last Saturday and travel to title-challenging Spurs on Monday, were showing signs of fatigue.Its the first time weve played on a Thursday night, so well look at the preparation. We did look a little bit sluggish right from the start, Pulis said.Salomon looked tired, he had a virus so we didnt want to play him for the 90 minutes. But hes come on and we needed that little spark we didnt have. Arsene Wenger was pleased with the quality Arsenal showed in the victory against West Brom The two goals are disappointing. But these lads have done fantastic for me this year, absolutely brilliant. Every game we have played they have had a go. Theres not been many games where you can say they didnt give it their best. Its been a long season for us but the players have given everything. The important thing is we turn up and play the way we have played at Liverpool, United, Man City.

They just never considered it might be theirs. "Oh, its tough to swallow," defenceman Johnny Boychuk said after a 3-1 loss to the Canadiens eliminated the Bruins. "We have such a good team. It shouldnt be." With two trips to the Stanley Cup finals in three years and the NHLs best record this regular season, the Bruins have established themselves among the leagues elite. Defenceman Zdeno Chara, forward Patrice Bergeron and goalie Tuukka Rask are all up for NHL honours. But in a seven-game series against their Original Six rivals, the Bruins couldnt find the form that helped them amass 117 points in the regular season. Chara was uncharacteristically indecisive on Montreal breakaway. David Krejci and Brad Marchand — key scorers in the two runs to the Cup finals — did not score a goal in these playoffs. "Maybe it was a lack of focus or I didnt bear down enough, but I didnt come up big when the team needed me and (its) very frustrating," Marchand said. "Its really tough. I think we expected to go all the way this year. Its very tough; its very disappointing. Its hard to really put into words. We expected a lot more." Coach Claude Julien said the team struggled to overcome injuries on defence to defenceman Dennis Seidenberg and Adam McQuaid.dddddddddddd That left them relying on a lot of young players, including Dougie Hamilton and Torey Krug, who played well in the series, and Kevan Miller and Matt Bartkowski, who didnt. "You could see tonight that there was a lot of nervousness," Julien said. "This time of year, youve got to play your best hockey of the year. And I dont think we got to that point. I dont think we played badly but we certainly werent playing as well as we could to be a team that would move ahead." Despite the injuries, the Bruins coasted through the regular season to 54 wins, then eliminated the Detroit Red Wings in five games. After dropping the opener at home to Montreal, the Bruins came back to take a 3-2 lead in the series. But Montreals Olympic gold medal-winning goalie Carey Price shut the Bruins out 4-0 in Game 6 to force the series back to Boston for a decisive seventh game. And then he held them to a single goal in the finale. "When you know that you have a team that was so good and consistent throughout the whole season, and you have a good enough team to win more than one series," it takes a while to sink in, Chara said. "Its something that youre going to be thinking about. Ill be thinking about it for sure quite a bit." ' ' '
