The match between Arsenal and Slavia Prague in the Champions League unfolded exactly as predicted — a victory for Arsenal, another clean sheet, and a brilliant performance from the "makeshift number 9" Mikel Merino, who perfectly replaced Viktor Gyökeres.
Thanks to a brace from the Spanish midfielder, a successful penalty by Bukayo Saka, and a penalty denied to Slavia, Arsenal achieved a feat no other English team had accomplished in history.over the past 105 years: eight consecutive wins in all competitionswithout conceding a goal.
The seventh win in that run was a comfortable 2-0 victory over Burnley at Turf Moor, helping Arsenal maintain a six-point lead over Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table — a position they will hold throughout the international break.
The last time Arsenal conceded a goal was against Newcastle United in September, and now they are aiming for a new milestone — winning five consecutive Premier League games without conceding a goal for the first time in their history.
