Arsenal edge stubborn Slavia in Champions League

In a Champions League encounter at the Fortuna Arena in Prague, Arsenal edged out Slavia Prague 2-1. Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyokeres scored in the first half, with Madueke netting on nine minutes and Gyokeres adding a second in the 38th minute. Slavia, who have only one point from four Champions League games, struggled to create chances, managing only one in the first half.

Arsenal's 2-1 victory marked their return to winning ways in Europe following a 2-2 draw at Bayern last month, bringing their Champions League tally to 10 points from four games. Slavia, on the other hand, have been in poor form in Europe, without a win in the 23rd straight Champions League game, bringing them within one of tying AEK Athens' all-time record of 22 consecutive losses from 1992-2006.
