NEVER more have I wanted Arsenal to beat a team for off-the-field reasons than on Thursday evening.
How they delivered. It was joyous to watch Mikel Arteta’s rampant Gunners side humiliate the racists of Ondrej Kudela’s Slavia Prague 4-0 on the night, to move into the last four of the Europa League, 5-1 on aggregate.
How unexpectedly enjoyable was it to see Arteta’s team play with power, pace, verve and flair in what was their best performance of the season by far.
