Meanwhile, Sunday's goalscorer Thomas Vermaelen has been defending Belgium coach Dick Advocaat, who is also manager of Zenit St Petersburg.
The Gunners defender told Sportweekend: "Advocaat is not the only coach with two jobs at the same time. He's one of the best coaches around and we should be glad to have him on board instead of criticising him.
