Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka was disappointed his team could not come away with a win after holding Arsenal to a goalless draw on Saturday.
Boro had a number of great chances to steal a win, and Karanka admitted he was pleased with their performance against the Premier League leaders.
"I think we could have won the game, but Petr Cech was the best player for Arsenal and we did a really good game today," Karanka said.
"All of our players played a key part today. Our plan worked which I am really pleased about and for 95 minutes we were 150 percent concentrating on the pitch.
"It is good to show everybody that we have a plan and now we need to look ahead to Bournemouth."
Former Barcelona shot-stopper Victor Valdes was kept busy but stood tall to earn a clean sheet.
"Victor in the last two or three years with his [knee] injury, it has been the worst moments of his life in football," Karanka said.
"When I signed him I told him he had to find his smile again and that was really important. He has been really good for us."
