Arsenal trounced Slavia Prague 4-0 to win through to the semi-finals of the Europa League in what was their best performance of the season.

Mikel Arteta's Gunners blew away the Czech champions in a stunning performance that saw them go 3-0 ahead in the opening 24 minutes. 

Goals from Pepe, Alex Lacazette (penalty) and Bukayo Saka effectively won the tie early on before Lacazette slotted home a second late on in the second half.

In a powerful anti-racist show of force before the game a kneeling Lacazette stared down the entire Prage side who refused to take the knee.
