'Now we know we have to go there and win the game': Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta backs his players to finish the job against Slavia Prague and progress in Europa League despite late setback in quarter-final first leg

Mikel Arteta insists he has full belief his Arsenal side will still progress in the Europa League after they conceded a last-gasp equaliser in the first leg of their quarter-final clash with Slavia Prague.

Nicolas Pepe had come off the bench to seemingly win the game for the Gunners with his strike four minutes from time - but the hosts could not hold onto their advantage as Tomas Holes headed in an equaliser to earn Slavia a 1-1 draw.

The first leg at the Emirates Stadium had looked set to end in a goalless stalemate as Arsenal passed up a number of fine chances.
