'Stodgy' but 'getting away with it'

Former Arsenal defender Matthew Upson says Mikel Arteta's attack is "not flowing" as well as it was earlier in the season and has become "stodgy". The Gunners needed a late Kai Havertz penalty to secure a draw in Wednesday's Champions League round of 16 first leg in Leverkusen but will go into next Tuesday's return leg as favourites. "Defensively, they deliver consistency really well," Upson told BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast.
