Arsenal Need Own Goal To Pip Shakhtar Donetsk 1-0 In Champions League Clash - In Pics
Arsenal steadied the ship after their 0-2 loss to Bournemouth last week in the English Premier League, beating Ukraine’s Shakhtar Donetsk 1-0 in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday (October 23, 2024), but ended the game with yet more injury worries. Arsenal needed an own goal to get past Shakhtar as their attack struggled to deliver a cutting edge without injured pair Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka.
