Slavia Prague vs Arsenal - LIVE!
Arsenal blew Slavia Prague away to book their place in the semi-finals of the Europa League in fine style, sealing a 5-1 aggregate triumph with a 4-0 thumping at the Eden Arena tonight.
The Gunners had already had one Emile Smith Rowe goal ruled out for a tight VAR offside call by the time Nicolas Pepe got them off to the perfect start on 18 minutes, squeezing in a clever finish at the near post.
And, six minutes later, the tie was all over as a contest and Alexandre Lacazette’s penalty and Bukayo Saka’s strike saw the visitors race into a three-goal lead.
Lacazette would eventually add another in the second half as Mikel Arteta’s side teed-up a semi-final meeting with Villarreal, who are, of course, managed by former Gunners boss Unai Emery.
