Arsenal continued their phenomenal run in the Champions League with a dominant 3-0 win over Slavia Prague. The victory marked their tenth consecutive win in all competitions and their eighth straight clean sheet, equalling a record set over a century ago.
Midfielder Mikel Merino scored twice, including a smart second-half strike, while England winger Bukayo Saka converted a penalty early to set the tone. But the night also belonged to 15-year-old Max Dowman, who became the youngest player ever to feature in the Champions League after being introduced from the bench. Arsenal’s manager Mikel Arteta described the performance as “mature yet ambitious.”
Their group standing now looks comfortable, and the club’s trajectory appears upward. Slavia Prague were simply out-gunned and will need major adjustments to salvage their campaign.
