Arsenal beat Slavia Prague away in the Champions League, with Viktor Gyökeres contributing an assist and scoring as the visitors held on for a nervy win. The result extended Arsenal’s unbeaten run in away European matches to 10, while Slavia equalled the competition’s longest winless streak.
Noni Madueke put Arsenal ahead after eight minutes, finishing a move started by Gyökeres.
