During Arsenal's Champions League match against Slavia Prague, audio issues in the first half led to an apology from TNT Sports presenter Laura Woods. From approximately the 8th minute until the 16th, there was a noticeable echo following any commentary from lead commentator Sam Matterface and co-commentator Martin Keown.

The live feed from the stadium abruptly ended, with Woods announcing: "Ladies and gents as you can tell, we are having a few problems so I'm going to introduce our own commentary through Owen Hargreaves and Anita Asante."

TNT viewers took to social media to complain that they were hearing double of Matterface and Keown, while additional commentary from Owen Hargreaves and Anita Asante took over from the broadcaster's London studio.

During that time, there were few chances as the Gunners sought to maintain their perfect European record so far this campaign.

Defender Gabriel did require treatment for a head injury while wonderkid Ethan Nwaneri was booked.

His fellow midfielder, Declan Rice, needs to avoid being shown a yellow card or he will be suspended for their next Champions League tie against Bayern Munich on November 26.
