'I loved everything about the game': Steven Gerrard blown away by Arsenal's display vs Slavia Prague

Speaking during his press conference on Friday, Steven Gerrard said: "I loved everything about the game. I loved Arsenal's performance, I loved the way they went about it.

"I admired how they approached before the game, during the game and after the game. I was really proud watching Arsenal's performance, everything about it. I loved the way they prepared for the game.

"The way the manager spoke, the way the players behaved before, during and after and then to back it up with that level of performance. I sat there and really enjoyed that game."

Slavia Prague eliminated Gerrard's side in the Europa League Round of 16 with defender Ondrej Kudela allegedly racially abusing Rangers' Glen Kamara.
