From the source

Arsenal came away from Prague with three points after a 2-1 win over Slavia, but for many fans the result wasn’t the main talking point.

Mikel Arteta made six changes from the win at Anfield, resting Martin Odegaard, Bruno Guimaraes and Kai Havertz among others. Declan Rice, though, was given the captain’s armband and played the full 90 minutes, even as Arsenal faded badly after the break.

That hasn’t gone down well with supporters. Rice was everywhere in the first half, but he looked increasingly tired as the game went on. He was booked on 68 minutes, took a touch too many on the edge of the box late on, and was struggling to get back in transition.
