Berbatov: We expected Arsenal to go wandering

Veteran striker Dimitar Berbatov says Monaco fully expected to exploit Arsenal’s wandering defence as they took control of their Champions League last 16 tie with a 3-1 win at the Emirates Stadium.

Former Tottenham striker Berbatov silenced the boo-boys with Monaco’s second goal, on the break as the home side pressed a high line, in Wednesday’s shock 3-1 win for the principality.

Even after substitute Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain had grabbed a lifeline with a stoppage-time goal, Arsenal failed to retain their shape as they chased an equaliser with Yannick Carrasco slotting home a third on the break.
