What changed

Arsenal beat Slavia Prague 2-1 in Prague to claim their third win in four Champions League matches. Noni Madueke and Victor Gyokeres scored for Arsenal before Slavia launched a late fightback.

Why it matters

Arsenal leave with the result they came for, but not a comfortable night. Slavia’s late push turned a two-goal advantage into a tense finish, making this a hard-fought win rather than a routine one.

The clearest reading is that Arsenal’s scoring made the difference. Madueke and Gyokeres supplied enough to withstand Slavia’s response, and the victory strengthens Arsenal’s early Champions League run. The late scare still matters: a match that looked under control demanded a sharper finish from the visitors.
