Slavia Prague suffer Europa League skelping as Rangers foes ripped to shreds by rampant Arsenal

Overmatched Slavia Prague are in the midst of a Europa League walloping at the hands of red-hot Arsenal.

The Czech league leaders are unbeaten in 18 months at the Eden Arena but have no answers for Mikel Arteta's side who are dominating and lead 3-0 at the interval.

It comes 24 hours after Ondrej Kudela was hit with a 10-game ban for the vile racist abuse aimed at Rangers hero Glen Kamara last month.

The sickening "f****** monkey" taunt sent shockwaves across Europe with many within the game demanding the Czech international was hit with an more severe punishment.

Slavia have been left befuddled by brilliant Arsenal - who also have had a goal ruled out when Emile Smith-Rowe tucked home before VAR denied him with an offside call.

But Jindřich Trpišovský's side weren't so lucky moments later when Nicholas Pepe tucked home from a tight angle.

That opener in the 18th minute sparked a goal rush as Arsenal would strike two more times in a rampant six-minute spell in this one-sided Europa League quarter final.

Alexandre Lacazette made it 2-0 from the spot before the brilliant Bukayo Saka added a third as former Rangers hero Arteta jumped for joy in the dugout.

The acrimony following Kudela's charge is set to continue with his town's mayor offering an outrageous defence over the abuse.
