  "account": "In a Champions League match at the Fortuna Arena on Wednesday, Arsenal overcame a sluggish Slavia Prague to secure a 2-1 victory. The Premier League champions scored both of their goals in the first half, giving them 10 points from four Champions League games so far. Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyokeres both found the back of the net, with the latter netting the second goal in the 38th minute. Slavia, the Czech champions, struggled throughout the first half, failing to create any notable chances. They began to improve in the second half, but it was too late to overturn the deficit. David Raya made saves from a header by Gabriel Magalhaes and a shot by David Zima, while Arsenal keeper Raya made several crucial stops. Slavia managed a last-minute consolation goal in the 90th minute, but it was not enough to secure a win. This victory marked Arsenal's return to winning ways in Europe after a 2-2 draw at Bayern Munich last month. It also brought them to within one point of the all-time record of 23 consecutive unbeaten games in the Champions League set by AEK Athens in 1992-2006.",
