Alcohol sponsorship ban cost Ghana Premier League US$5m-a-year deal – Okraku

Prague witnessed an edge from Arsenal in the Champions League on Wednesday as they defeated Slavia Prague 2-1. Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyokeres scored in the first half, giving Arsenal a much-needed win following a 2-2 draw with Bayern last month. This victory brought Arsenal to 10 points from four Champions League games, while Slavia has only one point.

Manager Mikel Arteta praised his team's performance, stating that it was a difficult task to win away against a tough opponent. Arteta noted that Arsenal played at a high level in the first half, controlling the game in chilly conditions. Slavia, sluggish throughout the first half, made a comeback in the second half to try and avenge a 3-0 home loss to Arsenal exactly a year ago.

However, Arsenal held on to secure the win, despite scoring a consolation goal in the 90th minute. The hosts had not won a Champions League game in 23 straight appearances, bringing them within one of AEK Athens' all-time record from 1992-2006.
