Four winners and one loser from Arsenal's nervy UCL win against Slavia Prague
Story updated
The story in brief
6-second readTake a look at who came out best and who brought cause for concern from Arsenal's 2-1 win against Slavia Prague
From the source
Longest winless run in UCL history versus an Arsenal team that had just come back from Anfield with a win – yep, there was only ever going to be one winner here.
Beyond securing a big result, though, Mikel Arteta clearly wanted to give squad names a chance to prove themselves as individual winners in Prague. Indeed, six changes from the weekend indicated his plan.
And it all panned out like he desired - in the end. Many of the rotated faces took full advantage of this game time by contributing to some liquid football which looked to have effectively sewn the match up at half-time.
