Arsenal succeeded in the first leg in the Premier League. This Sunday afternoon, the Gunners won in Old Trafford against Manchester United on the score of 1 goal at 0.
Riccardo Calafiori scored the only goal of the game following a corner in the first period (1-0.13th). But the real attraction on the Arsenal side was the Swedish striker Viktor Gyokeres. Standing at the forefront of the attack, the former Sporting Lisbon played his first minutes of the Premier League game.
A delicate first or he failed to unlock his counter and take over the Mancunian defense. The 27 -year -old was overall dominated in duels by Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Lit.
However, his coach Mikel Arteta was satisfied with his first steps. “” Gyökeres did a lot of very good things, I am happy. We feel at our high pressing and at the rate that we impose that there are points to improve. Coming to Manchester United and winning a victory in his first game is a very good start, “ he launched to journalists after the game.
Decisive against Leeds?
Not decisive for his own against the Red Devils this Sunday on the first day of the championship, Viktor Gyokeres will be keen to correct the shot during the next outing of the Gunners this Saturday afternoon at the Emirates Stadium against Leeds.
A meeting that could allow him to launch his season if he came to find the way to the nets. Unless big surprise, he should again start the game in the starting 11 of Mikel Arteta alongside Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli.
