Victor Gyokeres, the £64 million summer acquisition for Arsenal, called his two goals against Atletico Madrid in Tuesday night’s Champions League match “great.” Following his Player of the Match effort in north London, the Swede addressed the media. Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel, a Brazilian pair, had given the Gunners the lead with every goal in the second half. Before ending his drought with a pleasant brace against Atletico, the 27-year-old had gone nine games without suffering from agol. “I’m really happy,” he told UEFA. “They had a few good chances, but I believe we had the upper hand overall.” It’s excellent to score four goals and maintain a clean sheet once more. We never stop. When we defend, we do it correctly, and when we get the opportunity, we seize it with great strength.Both [my] objectives were excellent. I always strive to give it my all, work hard, and contribute in many ways, so eventually the goals would have materialized. “We have a long way to go, but we want to perform well and win football games. Even though it may sound dull, we shall approach each game separately. On November 4, Arsenal will take on Slavia Prague in their upcoming Champions League match, while Atletico will try to recover against Union Saint-Gilloise. Arteta’s team will play Crystal Palace in the Premier League, while Atletico will go to Real Betis in the La Liga.
