Arsenal secured their fourth consecutive Champions League victory after defeating Slavia Prague, placing the north London team in a strong position with 12 points to their name.

Bukayo Saka initiated the scoring from the penalty spot, with referee Aliyar Aghayev ruling that Lukas Provod had handled the ball in the box. Mikel Merino netted the second just after the interval, giving the Gunners full command of the match.

The Spaniard added a third just over twenty minutes later, heading in backwards following a looping Declan Rice pass.

Late in the game, a penalty awarded to Slavia Prague was reversed upon review.
