Thierry Henry is 'not surprised' by Arsenal's Champions League loss to Lens

CBS soccer analyst Thierry Henry said he was 'not surprised' by Arsenal's 2-1 loss to RC Lens in Champions League action.

Mikel Arteta's side suffered a shock blow to their Champions League campaign Tuesday night with a group-stage defeat to French side Lens.

The Gunners had taken the lead through Gabriel Jesus but Adrien Thomasson levelled following a David Raya error before a second-half strike from Elye Wahi handed them the win.

However, Arsenal legend Henry insisted the defeat should not come as a great surprise.

'Away from home in Europe nothing is easy,' Henry said during the CBS postgame show.
