Arsenal has secured its fourth consecutive win in the UEFA Champions League. The team defeated Czech side Slavia Prague 3-0 at their home ground. Arsenal, yet to concede a goal in the tournament, currently stands at the top of their group. Despite a physical game from Slavia Prague, they could not stop Arsenal’s attack. Following persistent pressure, Arsenal was awarded a penalty after a VAR check for a handball from a corner. Captain Bukayo Saka converted the penalty in the 32nd minute, putting Arsenal in the lead.
This goal made Saka the first Arsenal player to score in four straight away games in the Champions League. Arsenal scored their second goal just thirty seconds into the second half. Mikel Merino, who replaced the injured striker Viktor Gyökeres, found the net with an excellent finish from a pass by Trossard. In the 68th minute, Merino scored his second goal and the team’s third with a header from a pass by Rice, sealing the win for Arsenal. During the second half, 15-year-old substitute Max Dowman set a new record, becoming the youngest player to ever play in the Champions League. Meanwhile, in another fixture, Napoli and Frankfurt ended their match in a goalless draw.
