David Raya has admitted that Arsenal were surprised by Slavia Praha’s response in the second half of their Champions League meeting last night, as the hosts made life difficult for the Gunners after the interval.
Arsenal entered the fixture following a morale boosting victory over Liverpool at the weekend, and there were expectations that they would carry that confidence into another comfortable performance.
Their first half display appeared to justify that optimism, as they controlled the game and established a 2-0 lead before the break. However, the contest changed significantly after half time.
