From the source
Arsenal secured a 2-1 victory over Slavia Praha in the Champions League last night, but their performance after the interval left plenty of room for concern.
The Gunners had looked comfortable for much of the first half, yet their sloppy display after the break allowed the hosts back into the contest and put their victory at risk.
Mikel Arteta’s side started brightly and controlled much of the opening period. They established a 2-0 lead before half time and created enough opportunities to suggest they could have scored as many as four goals.
