Arsenal Wins 1-0 Against Shakhtar Donetsk

Arsenal secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk in the UEFA Champions League, thanks to an own goal by goalkeeper Dmytro Riznyk, who inadvertently deflected Gabriel Martinelli's shot into the net. Despite dominating possession and creating numerous chances, including a missed penalty by Leandro Trossard, Arsenal struggled to find a second goal. Mikel Arteta's side, missing key players like Bukayo Saka and Martin Ødegaard due to injury, faced concerns over the fitness of Riccardo Calafiori, who left the pitch in discomfort. Shakhtar remained competitive and had a late opportunity to equalize through Pedrinho, but a brilliant save from David Raya secured the win for Arsenal. The victory is crucial as Arsenal prepares for an important match against Liverpool this Sunday, having now kept three consecutive clean sheets in the Champions League. Overall, the match underscored Arsenal's need for improvement despite the positive result.
