Wenger: 'Is it a good point or a bad point? I don't know'

"It is a result. It depends what you call fair. I believe if you take the possession and the initiative, it was all us. But they defended with great spirit and were resilient for the whole game.

"I like to think usually the team that takes the initiative should be rewarded, but it is not always like that in football. We lacked a little bit the sharpness to get them out of position.

"They gave us the ball and said, 'Listen, we are happy with 0-0, do what you want', and the story of the game was they didn't only almost get the 0-0, they almost won the game.

"We needed character to come back and at least get a point. Is it a good point or a bad point? I don't know, but it was a frustrating day for us because we didn't create the chances we usually do and I must say, Sunderland defended very well."
