Arsenal defeated Slavia by a large margin


On November 5, 2025, in the fourth round of the Champions League, London’s “Arsenal” defeated Prague’s “Slavia” with a score of 3:0. The team led by Mikel Arteta took full advantage of the hosts’ defensive errors and finished their chances with composure.

At the start of the match, the Londoners acted cautiously on the pitch, trying to provoke a foul in the opponent’s penalty area. The VAR system confirmed a handball by Slavia’s player Provod, and Bukayo Saka opened the scoring from the penalty spot.

After halftime, the “Gunners” accelerated their attacks. Trossard beat his opponent down the wing and crossed into the box, where Mikel Merino scored with a single shot.

Throughout the match, “Slavia” tried to reduce the deficit through set pieces and passes, but Gabriel and Saliba played confidently in aerial duels. A mistake from the hosts’ goalkeeper Markovic shattered the team’s last hopes.

Declan Rice delivered a soft pass to the goal area, and Merino scored his second of the game with a header, beating the goalkeeper. Towards the end of the match, “Slavia” managed to win a free kick, but VAR determined that the home team’s captain committed a handball, canceling the decision.

“Arsenal” calmly closed out the game, securing all three important points. This victory allowed the “Gunners” to strengthen their lead in the group.

Meanwhile, “Slavia” must win all remaining matches in order to advance to the next round.
