From the source
Mikel Arteta has admitted Arsenal have plenty to learn after turning what looked like a comfortable Champions League victory over Slavia Prague into a nervy 2-1 win.
The Gunners were excellent during the opening 45 minutes, with Noni Madueke breaking the deadlock after nine minutes before Viktor Gyökeres doubled their advantage shortly before half-time.
Arsenal appeared firmly in control, but their level dropped dramatically after the interval as Slavia pushed for a way back into the contest. According to ESPN’s report of Arteta’s post-match comments to TNT Sports, the Arsenal manager was particularly frustrated by how his side lost control after producing such an impressive first half.
