'Bellerin is not a good defender & Grealish exposed him' - Arsenal boss Arteta 'shocked' by poor Villa display, Campbell says

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta would have been "shocked" by his side's poor defensive display in Sunday's 3-0 defeat to Aston Villa, claims Kevin Campbell.

The former Arsenal striker has singled out right-back Hector Bellerin for particular criticism, saying the Spain international "can't defend" and was run ragged by Villa star Jack Grealish.

Arteta's side were easily defeated at the Emirates, with Bukayo Saka's first-half own goal followed by a pair of second-half strikes from Ollie Watkins.

Villa were especially successful down their left-hand side, attacking Bellerin and right-sided centre-back Rob Holding all evening.
