Slavia Prague are reportedly enraged by some of Arsenal’s tactics during the Gunners’ 3-0 Champions League victory on Tuesday.
Mikel Arteta’s team grabbed all three points at the Fortuna Arena thanks to a penalty from Bukayo Saka and a brace from Mikel Merino.
The Premier League club have not given up a goal in their first four games, and the victory puts the north Londoners in second place in the Champions League standings, tied with Bayern Munich on points.
Arsenal lead the Premier League by six points and have won ten successive matches across all competitions following the result.

Provod Shares His Displeasure Towards Arsenal’s Tactics
According to The Evening Standard, Lukas Provod, the captain of Slavia, was unhappy with Arsenal’s approach and said the referee let the visitors play how they wanted.
“Arsenal prepare for set-pieces for a long time, we knew that,” Provod said afterwards.
“When they were leading, they didn’t rush anywhere, the referee didn’t rush them. I guess that’s a compliment for us too.”
Provod was found guilty as Arsenal were awarded a first-half penalty. VAR detected a handball by the winger from a Bukayo Saka corner as the Gunners’ skipper scored the first goal from the spot.
Even after the full-time whistle, Provod persisted in claiming his innocence because he was shocked by the ruling.
“I was in charge of Gabriel, which is a tough one, so I was 100 per cent focused on defending him,” Provod added.
“The ball went from his head to my head and then into my hand. I prayed that VAR wouldn’t rule it out, which rarely happens.
