🔥 VIKTOR GYOKERES — HIS BEST ARSENAL PERFORMANCE?

A goal AND an assist for the Swedish striker!

Gyokeres produced a brilliant piece of play to set up Madueke's early opener before finishing superbly following a combination with Mikel Merino.

His movement, physicality, link-up play and confidence were on display as Arsenal dominated the opening 45 minutes.

Has this performance answered some of the questions surrounding Arsenal's number nine?

⚡ NONI MADUEKE DELIVERS AGAIN!

Madueke opened the scoring after just nine minutes, making an intelligent run before calmly finishing Gyokeres' pass.

The England winger provided pace, directness and attacking threat on Arsenal's right flank.

With Bukayo Saka unavailable, is Madueke proving he can be trusted in the biggest matches?

🤔 ARTETA QUESTIONED — WHAT WENT WRONG?

Arsenal looked comfortable at 2-0, but the second half was a completely different story.

Slavia Praha piled on the pressure, registering 17 second-half attempts and forcing David Raya into several important saves.

Gabriel Magalhães produced a crucial goal-line clearance before Nowak finally pulled one back in the closing stages.

Did Arteta's substitutions disrupt Arsenal's rhythm? Were the Gunners too passive? Or was this simply a difficult European away fixture?

🧤 DAVID RAYA & GABRIEL SAVE ARSENAL!

Arsenal's defensive resilience was tested throughout the second half.

Raya produced important interventions, including an outstanding save to turn a header onto the post, while Gabriel's positioning prevented a certain goal.

We examine Arsenal's defensive performance and why the team struggled to maintain their first-half control.

🏆 ARSENAL'S CHAMPIONS LEAGUE CAMPAIGN CONTINUES!

Three wins and a draw from four Champions League matches!

Arsenal move onto 10 points and remain unbeaten in the league phase.

With Borussia Dortmund, Real Madrid and other European challenges still ahead, can Arteta's side go all the way this season?
