Mikel Arteta said Viktor Gyökeres had brought more variation to Arsenal’s attacking play as he paid tribute to the striker whose two goals embellished a 4-0 rout of Atlético Madrid at the Emirates Stadium.
Gyökeres had entered the game with only three goals for the club he joined from Sporting over the summer for £64m; questions over the quality of his performances. Arteta has never doubted him, believing it was simply a matter of time before his selflessness and persistence translated into goals.
