00:00It would be some result if they could end that wait for a victory against last season's runners-up.
00:09In the Europa League five years ago, steps in for Ngesen in the back three,
00:14while Lukas Provence replaced by Mikael Sadilek, Daniel Sturms, and Eze start up top.
00:20Having scored in both of their last two Champions League games,
00:23Eze could become the first Gunners player to score in three straight European Cup matches.
00:28Making his European debut.
00:32Well, on paper, it looks like it can only go one way.
00:37Arsenal arrive unbeaten in 18 Champions League matches.
00:41And that remains their joint biggest win in European club competition.
00:47A bit of an improvement for Slavia in the return fixture in the group stage in 07-08,
00:53when they held them to a 0-0 draw.
00:55But they are in trouble here as Madweke scores.
00:59And Arsenal have taken less than nine minutes to get their noses in front tonight.
01:08Noni Madweke.
01:12It looks onside to me as the ball is he forwards.
01:16The defending leaves a lot to be desired, but it's clever from Jokeres to hook it forwards for Noni Madweke.
01:24Still had a bit of work to do, but made light work of it.
01:28Credit to Jokeres for the pass.
01:29That's what really carves out the opening.
01:32Madweke too strong for Kubiak and then too composed for Domchak through the youngsters' legs.
01:41And it's Slavia 0, Arsenal 1.
01:50And there was that 2-0 loss at Sabah, but they did show fighting spirit at Fenerbahce.
01:57Madweke coming back from 2-0 down in that one.
01:59Could go two down here.
02:02Marino's hit.
02:03Tiptoe Sturm.
02:06Close enough to Suleiman, who was in a useful area.
02:09This is pretty handy for Arsenal now with Ezzer coming forwards.
02:13Oh, he's been caught there by Moses.
02:15And that's going to be a yellow card.
02:19Well, he looks at guard.
02:25Madweke has got the cross in.
02:26Jokeres is up there.
02:28Oh!
02:29And there was a chance for Marino.
02:33Ezzer.
02:36There it is, brilliant.
02:38Ezzer.
02:39He's unfortunate.
02:40Seemed to have done the hard work there.
02:43As he looked to score for a third Champions League game in a row.
02:51Ezzer stayed down here.
02:55Well, the referee, Tobias Stielers,
02:58not seeing anything untoward in terms of the challenge.
03:00Ezzer's been hurt, but wasn't fouled.
03:11Ezzer.
03:12Comster.
03:17Ezzer.
03:19chance,
03:19good save.
03:21well he did excellent work there. Suleiman looks set to hurl in the long one here
03:30and it is flicked on and set wide Tomáš Holes.
03:40In camp yet there is a bit of aggression in the tracking back from IOC but Arsenal have turned
03:48it over again. Zimmer called in possession, Rice rolled into Jokeres, it's Viktor Jokeres, it's two,
04:05it's another clinical finish to double Arsenal's advantage and Viktor Jokeres who teed up Nani
04:12Maduike for the opener has a goal of his own as half-time approach 3-0 win at this ground
04:19last
04:19season and 2-0 up before the interval tonight. It's too easy for the gunners again isn't it?
04:25Rolled in by Rice and then Marino to Jokeres who had the coolness to cut inside of the challenge and
04:34then lifted into the other corner. Made to measure is the finish from the Swede there
04:44and Mikel Arteta's much changed line-up, aren't changing anything about their results this season.
04:52It is surely going to be another success.
04:57And he hasn't been troubled in this first half, neither have Arsenal as a whole. It's been a stroll away
05:03to Slavia again for the gunners who were victorious.
05:16The fourth away game that they've played against Slavia, unbeaten in the previous three and yet to concede a goal,
05:23Arsenal, and have not looked like letting one in tonight neither.
05:34Chants early on here and Ryan forced into his first save of the night.
05:41Ambition to improve on that desperately disappointing 34th place finish last term.
05:48He's gone for it from range here but that's straightforward from IOC for Jokeres.
05:55Solis.
05:57It's Madweke, it's straight into Domchak.
06:06Raya's come a long way, they're struggling and the header is off the line from Gabriel and then back in
06:12and Raya falls to safety.
06:17Well, he's surely a compatriot.
06:26Off the line from Gabriel here and then was that a foul on Victor Novak.
06:37Raya, that's very uncharacteristic from him to come and flap.
06:41Gabriel got back to do his job well and then was Novak flattened there by Mikel Marino.
06:48Kubiak has pushed it forwards.
06:51Juracek.
06:53Well, Raya didn't know what to do there and is relieved that the finish...
07:05It's a good ball in from Holes.
07:07Off the post and Raya makes the gather.
07:17And Oscar Kubiak did his level best.
07:21And David Raya got a bit fortunate that it came off the post onto him and away rather than in.
07:29Can't fault the effort from the hosts in the second half.
07:34Ninetieth minute here.
07:37Kubiak.
07:38Crossing chance here for David Juracek.
07:40Oh, great ball and they've finally found Raya.
07:44But it doesn't get beyond Victor Novak who blasts in to try and snatch a famous draw here.
07:57Sadilek.
07:58Great ball.
07:59Oh, that was a chance.
08:01Underneath it, Gabriel.
08:04Rice.
08:07Get a pinball in there.
08:09Arsenal haven't dealt with it and here is a chance right at the very end.
08:13And Raya, with a comfortable save, should have been made.
08:18A bit more taxing for the Arsenal keeper there.
08:25Arsenal see off Slavia, but they were given a real fright in the second half at the Eden Arena.
08:32They look set to cruise.
