“Arsenal’s eighth straight clean sheet shows their new defensive strength and discipline.”
Arsenal continued their excellent Champions League form with a convincing 3-0 victory over Slavia Prague at the Fortuna Arena. The win stretched their run to eight straight clean sheets in all competitions, reflecting their growing confidence and discipline under Mikel Arteta.
Bukayo Saka opened the scoring in the first half from the penalty spot after a VAR-checked handball. Early in the second half, Mikel Merino doubled the lead with a fine volley before heading in a third goal midway through the half, capping off a standout performance.
Arsenal controlled the tempo after the opener, allowing Slavia just one shot on target. Gabriel and Saliba were rock-solid in defense, while Declan Rice and Trossard linked up well in midfield to maintain pressure.
The victory keeps Arsenal top of their group with a perfect record — four wins from four — and shows a side full of balance, maturity, and belief as they continue their charge in Europe.
