How Viktor Gyokeres is improving Arsenal: The variation he adds to the attack, how he helps Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli, the problem he poses defenders... and the one flaw in his game he MUST fix

Viktor Gyokeres just needed one to go in, it really didn’t matter how. Seven games without a goal for Arsenal’s new £65million striker is plenty enough these days to be written off as a lost cause.

A brace against Atletico Madrid, though, was just what he needed. That his first came courtesy of stabbing the ball against a defender’s foot and watching it dribble into the opposite corner didn’t matter one jot. No pictures in the scorebook.
