LONDON -- Arsenal went top of the English Premier League after being held to 0-0 at home by struggling Middlesbrough on Saturday, Arsene Wengers 67th birthday.The Gunners run of six straight league victories came to an end, but it could have been worse if it wasnt for Petr Cechs brilliance in goal.Arsenal could yet be overtaken at the top by Liverpool later Saturday, or Manchester City on Sunday.Wenger was disappointed by his sides lack of creativity, citing the absence of the injured Santi Cazorla as a key factor.We didnt have our usual pace and combination, and not enough sharpness in our movement, Wenger said. We could not win it (but) at least we were attentive enough to not lose it.Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka was pleased, having seen his side keep a clean sheet for the first time since August.We should have won the game, but a point was really good, he said. For Petr Cech to be the best player, it says that we did a really good job.Having survived an ominous opening quarter camped on the edge of its own penalty area, Middlesbrough settled and grew in confidence at Emirates Stadium.Adama Traore took advantage of Laurent Koscielnys lapse in concentration to get in behind the Arsenal defence but was thwarted by a fine Cech save. Alvaro Negredo misfired the rebound.Middlesbrough continued to threaten through Gaston Ramirez, who first struck the woodwork with a near-perfect free kick, then headed an even better opportunity straight at the surprisingly busy Cech.Inspired by Alexis Sanchez, Arsenal emerged with renewed intent after halftime. He fired just wide from a free kick before forcing two fine saves from Victor Valdes.However, the action was far from one way, as Traore came close once more, drawing a full-stretch save from Cech after a pulsating run from inside his own half.Lucas Perez and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain were introduced on either side of the 70th, but neither had the desired effect as an exasperated Wenger patrolled the touchline with his arms outstretched.The visitors, who lost five of their last six league games after a promising start to the season, naturally retreated in the closing stages. It looked like theyd paid the ultimate price in stoppage time, but Mesut Ozil was rightly flagged offside as he flicked in Oxlade-Chamberlains cross. Ryan Borucki Blue Jays Jersey .

LOUIS -- Valtteri Filppula assisted on three of Tampa Bays four goals, and the Lightning beat the St.Milos Raonic said dispatching Gael Monfils 6-3 6-4 in his opening ATP World Tour Finals match was the perfect way to overcome doubts about his fitness. The world No 4 pulled out of his Paris Masters semi-final with Andy Murray last Saturday with a torn quadricep and there had been fears over his participation in London this week.Those were swept aside in a comprehensive triumph over a misfiring Monfils on Sunday night and although Raonic admitted he was not at 100 per cent, the match went far better than he expected. Raonic sweeps aside Monfils Milos Raonic showed no after-effects of a recent injury as he beat Gael Monfils He said: I didnt feel any pain to the injury I had. I think other muscles might be overworking to maybe compensate for that. I can feel them a little bit more fatigued and sore than they normally would be.But the injury is good. I feel like this is an ideal way to start considering the doubts that I was having. Some of the things I heard in the diagnosis were not the most positive, so this was a great way to turn around. Raonic dominated Monfils with his serve I dont think the expectations of what I can achieve have changed. I think the only thing that has changed is can I get through a match.Raonics victory over Monfils was built on his outstanding serving. He won 85 per cent of points on his first serve and 75 per cent on his second serve, and also produced 30 winners.His next match will be on Tuesday against Novak Djokovic, who defeated Dominic Thiem in three sets earlier on Sunday. Raonic explains his serve at the Sky Pad after beating Monfils Raonic added: I watched a little bit of his match today.ddddddddddddHe was very commanding towards the end of his match. He really stepped up after a difficult, slow start.Its going to be a difficult task that I have ahead of me. I feel like Im doing some things well. I feel like I can do some things better.Watch every day of the ATP World Tour Finals, from November 13-20, live on Sky Sports. Full schedule here. Watch NOW TV Watch Sky Sports for just ￡6.99.
