UCL: Arsenal Extend Unbeaten Champions League Away Run to 10 Matches
By Sportsgister
Arsenal continued their impressive Champions League campaign on Wednesday night, recording a historic 2-1 victory over Slavia Prague to extend their unbeaten away run in the competition to a club-record 10 matches.
The hard-fought victory not only strengthened the Gunners’ position in the league phase standings but also propelled Mikel Arteta’s men into third place.
Arsenal made a commanding start to the encounter, taking control with two first-half goals from Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyökeres to put the visitors firmly in the driving seat.
However, the Premier League side failed to extend their advantage despite creating opportunities to put the contest beyond their hosts.
Slavia Prague capitalised on Arsenal’s inability to add to their tally when Wiktor Nowak struck late in the game, setting up a nervy finish.
The goal sparked renewed hope among the home supporters, with Slavia pushing aggressively for an equaliser during five minutes of stoppage time.
Nevertheless, Arsenal showed defensive resilience and composure to withstand the late pressure, holding on to claim all three points.
Beyond the victory, the result marked a significant milestone for the North London club, as they recorded their 10th consecutive Champions League away match without defeat for the first time in their history.
With confidence growing and their European campaign gathering momentum, Arteta’s side will be keen to maintain their impressive form as they continue their pursuit of continental glory.
