- Slavia Prague 1-2 Arsenal: How the players rated
[BBC]
Arsenal starting XI:
David Raya: Raya had to make a smart stop in the opening minute of the second half but flapped at a corner which resulted in the ball being cleared off the line. 6
Ben White: The full-back was very comfortable when dealing with the Slavia Prague attacks. 7

Ezri Konsa: A decent night for Konsa but gave away a free-kick on the edge of the box and was booked for a late challenge in the second half. 6
Gabriel Magalhaes: The usual dependable performance from the centre-back. A clearance off the line in the second half. 7
Piero Hincapie: Aggressive defending from Hincapie and his overlapping runs created space for Eberechi Eze. 7
Martin Zubimendi: Just Zubimendi's third start of the season. Tidy in possession but looks like he still needs more minutes to be at his best. 6
Declan Rice: Captained the team and continued his excellent start to the season with a dominant display. 8

Mikel Merino: The Spaniard played close to striker Viktor Gyokeres and was a threat in the box. 7
Noni Madueke: The winger has started to look like he is playing himself into form and carried that on against Slavia Prague. Lots of direct running and a good finish for the opening goal. 7
Eberechi Eze: Some bright moments in the first half and came in-field when he had the ball to link up with the rest of the Arsenal attack. 6
Viktor Gyokeres: A really good night for the striker who needed a good performance. Gyokeres held up play, created the opening goal and scored the second. 8
