Arteta - We were ruthless in both boxes

Mikel Arteta was delighted with his team's performance at both ends of the pitch on Thursday night as we beat Slavia Prague to progress to the semi-finals of the Europa League.

After the final whistle, the boss reflected on what was a superb display away from home and considered how we were able to overcome difficult opponents.

"I am really pleased because we are through and I think we are through in a really convincing way," Arteta told Arsenal.com. "In this round, 4-0 isn’t easy. They haven’t lost at home in almost two years and they are a tough opponent, but we had some big individual performances and then collectively we understood the game really well and we were very efficient.
