Taylor: Gunners' progress 'tinged with disappointment'

Professional Footballers’ Association chief executive Gordon Taylor is concerned at the lack of English players in Arsenal’s squad, denouncing the victory over Real Madrid as reflective of impressive young talent elsewhere in Europe.

Theo Walcott was the only Englishman in the squad that conquered the Spanish giants over two legs in the Champions League, with Cesc Fabregas, Jose Antonio Reyes and Philippe Senderos among the younger foreign players to shine.
