Madueke and Gyokeres put Arsenal back on track in Prague

Arsenal secured a 2-1 victory away to Slavia Prague on Wednesday to claim their third win in the Champions League league phase and move to 10 points from four matches.

Noni Madueke opened the scoring in the ninth minute before Viktor Gyokeres doubled Arsenal’s advantage in the 38th minute. Wiktor Nowak pulled one back for Slavia Prague in the 90th minute, setting up a tense finish.

Arsenal had drawn 2-2 with Bayern Munich in their previous Champions League fixture but returned to winning form with an important result in the Czech Republic.

The victory leaves Arsenal third in the standings on 10 points, two behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid. Slavia Prague remain 34th with one point.

Arsenal dominated the opening half and went into the interval with a two-goal lead. Their control of the match was reflected in the score, with the visitors appearing firmly in command before half-time.

However, the balance shifted after the break. Arsenal, who had looked largely untroubled during the first half, came under sustained pressure and appeared increasingly vulnerable to conceding.

Slavia Prague’s late goal intensified the pressure on the visiting side, but Arsenal held on through the closing minutes. The final whistle confirmed a valuable away victory and ended any possibility of a late equaliser.

Arsenal’s next listed fixture is against Hull City in the Premier League on 07 November 2026.

Slavia Prague will return to Czech Republic League action on 08 November 2026, when they face Artis Brno.
