Viktor Gyokeres scored and provided an assist as Arsenal continued their unbeaten start in the league phase of the Champions League with a win over Slavia Prague.
Manager Mikel Arteta made six changes to the team that beat Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday, with Gyokeres leading the line in place of Kai Havertz.
The Swedish striker played a huge part in the opening goal when he hooked the ball behind the Slavia Prague defence for Noni Madueke to race on to and finish confidently in the ninth minute.
Gyokeres added the second himself before half-time after he exchanged passes with Mikel Merino and curled an excellent finish in off the post.
Slavia Prague improved after the break, and almost immediately David Raya had to produce a good save to deny Oskar Kubiak who shot from the edge of the box.
Gabriel Magalhaes had to clear the ball off the line after a Mojmir Chytil header following a corner, and the home side eventually pulled one back when Wiktor Nowak scored from close range in the 90th minute.
The Gunners, who had a 100% record in this stage of the competition during the last campaign, are unbeaten after their opening four games this season and are third in the table behind Paris St-Germain and Real Madrid.
