Swedish striker Viktor Gyökeres scores for Arsenal in a thrilling 5–0 win over Leeds United, marking his first goals for the club and igniting excitement among fans at the Emirates Stadium.

After a quiet debut against Manchester United, Viktor Gyökeres scores for Arsenal with two goals that showcased his power and precision. His first came early in the second half with a brilliant solo effort, while his second was a composed penalty in stoppage time.

Speaking to Arsenal website after the game “It was amazing to feel that support from minute one to the end. It gives you that extra energy to keep going”.

Tactical Brilliance and Team Chemistry

Beyond the goals, Gyökeres praised the team’s collective effort. Arsenal’s high press suffocated Leeds, and their attacking fluidity was on full display. With goals from Jurrien Timber and Bukayo Saka, and a clean sheet to boot, the Gunners looked every bit like title contenders.

“I think we pressed very well today and didn’t give them much time on the ball. I think we deserved this win,” Gyökeres added.

Having played the full 90 minutes for the first time in red, Gyökeres emphasized the importance of rhythm and connection with his teammates. His performance not only boosted his confidence but also showcased the depth and dynamism of Arsenal’s attacking options.

“It felt good today, of course, scoring two and the team scoring five. I think that showed we can be a massive threat going forward”.

While the win was emphatic, it wasn’t without setbacks. Injuries to Martin Ødegaard and Bukayo Saka cast a shadow over the evening, with both players facing scans ahead of Arsenal’s clash with Liverpool.
