Reaction from head coach Jindrich Trpisovsky after his Slavia Prague side scored a stoppage time equaliser in a 1-1 draw at the Emirates Stadium in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League quarter final against Arsenal on Thursday.

After Willian clipped the post and Alexandre Lacazette struck the bar for the hosts, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta sent on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang with 12 minutes remaining.

Arteta's decision to start the 31-year-old on the bench was questioned, and the striker made an impact in the 86th when he provided for Nicolas Pepe who thought he'd won the game for the Gunners.

However in third minute of stoppage time Tomas Holes headed home from a corner to take a crucial away goal back to the Czech capital next week.
