Arsenal stars Hector Bellerin, Lucas Perez and others escape reality as they attend Oculus virtual headset event

Arsenal have had a difficult time recently, and it would be no surprise to hear that some of their players wanted to escape reality.

They were afforded an opportunity to forget their 5-1 thrashing at the hands of Bayern Munich earlier this week on Thursday when they attended a launch night held by Oculus.

Arsene Wenger's players tried on the virtual reality headsets and looked to be having a great time at the event, with left-back Nacho Monreal the most obviously enthusiastic about the technology.
