'This is the lowest point for years... Arsenal didn't even go down fighting and look lost': Martin Keown savages Gunners after pitiful Europa League exit with Mikel Arteta 'outsmarted' by old boss Unai Emery

Martin Keown has slammed his former side Arsenal after a meek Europa League exit at the hands of Unai Emery's Villarreal at the Emirates on Thursday which will likely end their 25-season run of playing in Europe.

Mikel Arteta's side, trailing 2-1 from the first leg in Spain last week, began tentatively and although striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang hit the post twice, the Gunners only had two shots on target all match at the Emirates.

The result - their third European semi-final exit in their last four attempts - also marked the 10th time they have failed to score at home in a single season for the first time in their history.
