ARSENAL credited Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyokeres for their hard-earned victory over Slavia Prague.
The two players, previously labeled as ‘flops’, demonstrated their potential with an impressive first-half performance.
Gyokeres assisted Madueke, who sprinted towards goal and netted the opener.
The Swede then scored right before half-time, giving the Gunners a two-goal cushion.
Madueke’s recent form could not have come at a better time with Thomas Tuchel due to announce his England squad on Thursday.
His goal only strengthens his case for selection, following a standout few weeks where he also scored the winner against Nottingham Forest.

Gyokeres can take significant confidence from his performance in the Czech Republic.
After struggling post-international break, he appeared to regain his self-assurance.
His goal was well executed, showcasing great technique and placing the ball into the far corner from a challenging angle.
In his last five games, he has scored two goals and provided three assists for Arsenal.

After a rough start to the season, he is finally proving he can come through for the Gunners.
Manager Mikel Arteta likely learned a key lesson during the match at Fortuna Arena.
Despite controlling the game for 45 minutes, Arsenal did not close it out as effectively as they could have.
If not for David Raya, the team might have surrendered their lead and had to settle for a draw.
The Gunners are set to take on Hull City at the Emirates in the Premier League on Saturday, just before the international break.
