Viktor Gyokores scored and assisted Noni Madueke in Arsenal’s 2-1 win over Slavia Prague in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday night.

The Swede was in the mood to prove head coach Mikel Arteta wrong for his lack of playing time, and he produced the goods for the scrappy win.

Gyokores sent Madueke clear for the opener on nine minutes, the England international slotted into the net through the goalkeeper’s legs.

Gyokores got in on the act on 38 minutes, finsing the far post with a low shot after exchanging passes with Mikel Merino.

The eventful second half saw Slavia Prague have a penalty claim overturned but the Czech league champions got their deserved solitary goal on 89 minutes through Wiktor Nowak.

Arsenal maintained their 12-match unbeaten run against their hosts who scored for the first time against the Gunners despite the defeat. It was also a 19th match without a win in elite European competitions (13 defeats).

In other matches, Como became the first team to scored nine goals away from home in their 9-1 demolition of struggling RC Lens. Erling Haaland also scored his 13th goal against RB Leipzig in nine meetings to lead

Manchester City to a 3-2 win. Porto also thrashed Napoli 4-1.
