Arteta 'concerned' by Gyokeres injury

Arsenal made it four wins from four in the Champions League this season and recorded another victory without conceding a goal during their 3-0 result over Slavia Prague.

The hosts were unbeaten in their domestic league but had lost each of their previous three European games this year which was a complete contrast to the Gunners.

Arsenal, who started slowly, went ahead through Bukayo Saka’s penalty kick. Perhaps fortuitous to be awarded a spot kick the Arsenal captain slotted it home with ease and from there the Gunners took control.

Mikel Merino, leading the line in the absence of Viktor Gyokeres, added a second just seconds into the second half before flicking on a direct ball to add a third. David Raya made a couple of decent stops to help Arsenal secure another clean sheet with is a club record equalling eighth in a row.

Bukayo Saka set them on their way with a first-half penalty and a double from Mikel Merino – stepping into the centre-forward role in the absence of Viktor Gyokeres – sealed the deal.

The clean sheet was the Gunners’ eighth in a row, equalling the record set in 1903.
