Mikel Arteta was not impressed with his Arsenal team in the second half of their 2-1 win at Slavia Prague on Wednesday, saying they were ‘extremely far from our standards’ after the interval.

The Gunners continued their unbeaten start to the Champions League group stage with victory in Czech Republic, with three wins and a draw from their opening four games.

Noni Madueke opened the scoring after just nine minutes and the Premier League champions had a two-goal lead by half-time thanks to Viktor Gyokeres.
