Mikel Merino scored two goals as Arsenal recorded a win in the Champions League group stage against Slavia Prague, extending their winning run to 10 matches and tallying a 1903 record of eight straight clean sheets.
Merino, standing in as top striker after Viktor Gyokeres suffered an injury, made an impressive play, displaying his fine composure and versatility.
The first goal in the game was made from the penalty spot by England’s talisman, Bukayo Saka, in the 32nd minute after Lukas Provod was penalised by VAR for handball in the box.
Mikel Merino made it 2-0 in favour of the Gunners as the second half commenced with a nice play and fired the last goal against Slavia Prague in the 68th minute after heading a cross from Declan Rice.
A record was made as the game featured the youngest player to have played in the Champions League in person, 15-year-old Max Dowman, who broke the record earlier held by Youssoufa Moukoko.
Arsenal has played in 13 straight matches without a record of defeat in all competitions, maintaining a fine start to the season as they look forward to lifting a trophy this time.
