Slavia Prague 1 Arsenal 2: Gyokeres and Madueke keep Gunners on course for top-eight finish as Arteta rings the changes

Arsenal secured a 2-1 victory away against Slavia Prague in the Champions League to remain on course for a top-eight finish. Noni Madueke opened the scoring for the Gunners in the ninth minute after running onto a pass from Viktor Gyokeres. Gyokeres then doubled the lead in the 38th minute following an assist from Mikel Merino, before Wiktor Nowak scored a late consolation goal for the hosts.

Mikel Arteta made six changes to his lineup following a weekend win over Liverpool, retaining Declan Rice as captain alongside Gabriel and Ezri Konsa in central defense. Madueke's standout performance comes amid Bukayo Saka's quad injury, while Slavia Prague's winless streak in the competition extended to 22 matches.
