    Slavia finally get their reward for that late pressure - Nowak converts from close range after David Jurásek's cross to make it 1-2 in the 90th minute. It's a nervy finish now, but Arsenal still hold the lead going into the closing moments in Prague.

    Slavia have actually enjoyed their best spell of the night here, throwing bodies forward and forcing Raya into a smart save from Nowak's header while Chytil and Zima also had efforts blocked from close range in a frantic goalmouth scramble. Arsenal made two more changes - Timber and Ødegaard replacing White and Gyökeres - and have weathered the pressure comfortably enough, with Timber shooting high and wide from outside the box at the other end. The hosts have closed the gap on shots in this spell, but the 2-0 scoreline still looks entirely secure for Arsenal.

    Arsenal have continued to control things without needing to push too hard, with Rice picking up a booking for a foul on Sadílek amid a run of fouls from both sides. The best moment of the spell came from Madueke, whose angled effort was well held by Domchak after a Tzolis assist. The stats barely moved - Arsenal still well on top with 9 shots to 5 and 5 on target to 1 - and the 2-0 scoreline remains comfortable with under 20 minutes left.

    A quieter spell in Prague as Arsenal manage the game and make changes - Mosquera and Tzolis coming on for Konsa and Eze. Slavia have pressed a bit harder in these exchanges, with Ayaosi seeing a shot blocked, but they still haven't tested Raya further with any new chances. The numbers barely shifted - Arsenal still lead 8 shots to 5 and 4 on target to 1 - and the 2-0 scoreline continues to look thoroughly deserved.

    Slavia have at least started finding some joy after the break, with Kubiak forcing a save from Raya and then having another effort blocked, plus Ayaosi dragging one just wide and later being caught offside. Konsa picked up a yellow card for a second foul on Ayaosi, and the game has become a bit scrappier, but Arsenal still lead comfortably in every stat - 8 shots to 4, 4 on target to 1 - and the 2-0 scoreline looks well deserved.

    Quiet start to the second half in Prague, with the opening minute mirroring the break - no change at all in the stats since half-time. Slavia made a double change at the restart, bringing on N'Guessan and Chytil, as they look for a way back into it, but Arsenal remain firmly in control at 2-0.

    1 minute was added on

    Half-time in Prague and Arsenal are cruising. Madueke opened the scoring in the 9th minute, slotting home after Gyökeres played him through, before Gyökeres turned provider into scorer himself in the 38th minute, curling in Merino's assist for 0-2. Slavia's afternoon was summed up by Moses picking up an early yellow card for a bad foul, and Gabriel almost made it three right at the death, heading just wide from a corner in stoppage time. Arsenal have been utterly dominant - 60% possession, eight shots to one and four on target to none - and with just one minute added on, they'll be very happy to have that cushion heading into the second half.

    Gyökeres gets his own goal now too! The striker curls a right-footed effort from the left side of the box into the top corner, with Merino the provider this time, and Arsenal are cruising at 2-0. Slavia are being completely dominated and still haven't managed a shot on target.

    Arsenal keep pouring forward and could easily have doubled their lead. Merino has struck twice in quick succession - once seeing a header go just over from close range, another effort saved by Domchak in the bottom right corner - while Eze also saw a shot blocked. Slavia still haven't managed a single attempt, and with Moses now booked for a bad foul, the hosts are struggling to get out of their own half.

    Arsenal continue to dictate things, holding 70% of the ball and doubling their shot count since the last update. Merino almost added a second with a dipping effort from outside the box, only for Domchak to save it in the top centre of the goal, while Slavia are yet to register an attempt and keep conceding free kicks as they try to contain the visitors.

    Arsenal are ahead! Gyökeres slips a lovely through ball in behind and Madueke finishes coolly from the right side of the box to make it 0-1 in Prague. A clinical finish rewards Arsenal's early dominance, with the visitors controlling possession and creating the game's first clear chance.

    Arsenal have made an early statement without quite threatening Domchak's goal yet, dominating possession at over 70% in the opening stages. Slavia Prague are sitting in and conceding fouls as they try to contain the visitors, with Nowak and Suleiman both pulled up by the referee, but clear chances are still to materialise.
