"Bukayo Saka put them ahead with a 32nd-minute penalty, with Slavia captain Lukas Provod adjudged to have handled while defending a corner. Merino then grabbed Arsenal's quickest second-half goal in their Champions League history as he turned in from Leandro Trossard's centre just 35 seconds after the restart. It was 3-0 in the 68th minute as Merino beat Jakub Markovic to Declan Rice's floated cross and guided his header home."

Arsenal won 3-0 away at Slavia Prague in the Champions League, with Bukayo Saka converting a 32nd-minute penalty after Lukas Provod handled a corner. Mikel Merino, used as a makeshift striker due to Viktor Gyokeres and Gabriel Martinelli being unavailable, scored twice — one goal 35 seconds after the second-half restart and a 68th-minute header from a Declan Rice cross. A late potential penalty for Slavia was overturned after a VAR review, preserving Arsenal's clean sheet. Arsenal extended an eight-match winning streak without conceding and moved three points clear at the top of the 36-team standings after four wins.
