ARSENAL manager Mikel Arteta bemoaned a lack of ruthlessness after his side lost Tuesday night’s Champions League clash against Lens in northern France.

Franck Haise’s side staged a thrilling comeback against Arsenal at a fevered Stade Bollaert.

Gunners’ striker Gabriel Jesus’s 14th-minute opener was cancelled out by Adrien Thomasson’s strike 11 minutes later, prior to Elye Wahi’s 69th-minute winner.
