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.
