The most obvious thing to say is that Arsenal have become an unstoppable attacking force. The other glaring point to emerge during this breezy 5-0 win over Leeds United, though, is that Arsenal are desperately crying out for Eberechi Eze’s invention in the final third. There can be no in between, no blurred lines. In an age of extreme reactions, there can only be one truth.
Take Viktor Gyökeres, who is both lumbering £64m dud and rampaging goal brute all at the same time. He was written off by some after enduring a difficult debut against Manchester United but was in encouraging form less than a week later, offering hints of what he will bring to Arsenal’s forward line by putting his running power to good use against Leeds. Conclusion? Tougher tests are on the way for the big Swede.
