Viktor Gyökeres has opened his Premier League account for Arsenal, marking a milestone moment in his early Gunners career. 🔴🔥
The Swedish striker, signed from Sporting Lisbon this summer for £63.5m, endured a frustrating first half against Leeds United at the Emirates, touching the ball just 12 times and struggling to make an impact. But only three minutes into the second half, he silenced any doubts in emphatic fashion.
Picking the ball up on the left flank, Gyökeres drove powerfully past two defenders before firing a low strike into the bottom corner—via a slight deflection—to put Arsenal 3-0 ahead. The goal sent the Emirates into raptures and gave the new No.9 the perfect lift after a testing debut spell.
For Mikel Arteta, the breakthrough is exactly what he wanted to see from his record signing, who now has the platform to grow in confidence and establish himself as the focal point of Arsenal’s attack
