Arsenal enjoyed a record-breaking night amid a 3–0 victory over Slavia Prague, ensuring they maintained their perfect start to their Champions League campaign.
A ninth clean sheet in succession broke a 122-year record, while 15-year-old Max Dowman became the youngest player in the competition’s history when he appeared off the bench in the second half.
Arsenal had been troubled by their spirited hosts in the opening period, but were able to ease to another three points when Mikel Merino, who was redeployed up top in Viktor Gyökeres’s absence, scored immediately after the half-time interval to double their lead.
Merino added a third for the visitors to confirm their victory, after Bukayo Saka opened the scoring from the penalty spot on the half-hour mark.
For the time being, they’re top of the league phase table, and here are their player ratings from their win in Czechia.
