  "account": "Prague saw Arsenal edge Slavia Prague 2-1 in the Champions League on Wednesday, marking a return to winning ways for the Gunners after a 2-2 draw with Bayern. This victory brought Arsenal to 10 points from four Champions League games, while Slavia currently sits with a single point in the standings. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta praised his team's performance, stating that it was \"very difficult to win away from home\" but they achieved it against a \"really tough opponent\" as expected.\n\nThe match featured contrasting halves. In the first, Arsenal played at a high level in terms of tempo, intensity, quality, and clarity. Noni Madueke opened the scoring on nine minutes, and Viktor Gyokeres doubled the lead on 38 minutes. Slavia, however, showed improvement in the second half, scoring a consolation goal in the 90th minute through Wiktor Nowak, who took advantage of a defensive error by Arsenal. Despite the effort, Arteta acknowledged that his team \"should have been three, four or five\" goals ahead, indicating they fell short of their expected performance level.",
