Viktor Gyökeres the difference as Arsenal claim nervy win against Slavia Prague

Another European away day, another victory for Arsenal: albeit only just. This time, Viktor Gyökeres stole the show as poor Slavia Prague matched the longest winless streak in European Cup and Champions League history despite a spirited late comeback.
