Arteta: ‘I think everybody’s job is always under scrutiny’
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta gestures on the touchline during the UEFA Europa League Semi Final at the Emirates Stadium, London

UNAI EMERY’S Villarreal knocked Arsenal out of the last four of the Europa League on Thursday night as the former Gunners boss reached his fifth final in the competition. 

La Liga’s Yellow Submarine sunk the Gunners 2-1 on aggregate after a goalless draw and will now face Manchester United in the showpiece final in Gdansk, Poland, at the end of the month.

The result leaves Mikel Arteta under growing pressure at an unhappy club. It followed further pre-match demonstrations at Ashburton Grove from frustrated supporters, aimed at absentee billionaire owner Stan Kroenke.
