Arsenal edge Newcastle in stoppage time, but Gyokeres still off target | OneFootball

Arsenal won against Newcastle 2-1 this Sunday, September 28, in a match for the sixth round of the English League. Viktor Gyokeres, former Sporting forward, was a starter in Mikel Arteta's team, but he failed to put on an eye-catching performance again.

Nevertheless, at the 14th minute, the Swedish attacker thought he had won a penalty for the Gunners, after an alleged foul by Nick Pope. However, the play was later analyzed by VAR and annulled, which caused outrage on the Londoners' bench.

At the 34th minute, it was Newcastle's turn to respond, and they did so with a corner goal. Nick Woltemade jumped higher than everyone else and headed the ball into the net. Near the end, Arsenal responded. First, a studied play by the Gunners and Mikel Merino (85') headed for the 1-1

At 90+6', through a corner kick, it was Gabriel Magalhães' turn to shoot into the net and complete the turnaround in the score. With this result, Arsenal moves up to second place with 13 points, seven more than Newcastle, in 15th place. Liverpool is first with 15.

This season, with the Arsenal jersey, Viktor Gyokeres - valued at 75 million euros - played a total of eight matches. Under the guidance of Mikel Arteta, the former Sporting striker played 572 minutes, during which he scored three goals.
