Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was delighted with his players after their 6-0 Champions League romp against Lens.

Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard all scored in the first half, before Jorginho added a late penalty after the break.

Arteta said, "Today was the day to get it done. We did it in a beautiful way.

"We scored five goals against a really good side [in the first half].

"You can become really sloppy. And there were parts of the second half with different behaviours but we stayed really focused.

"They have to come out. We used the spaces really well.

On winning the group with a game to spare, he added: "It's great because the schedule we have at the moment is crazy. We're already thinking about Wolves in 72 hours.

"We have to demand more from each other. We'll have to be well prepared for Wolves."
