Rui Borges, take note: Gyökeres has concerns before Arsenal - Sporting | OneFootball

Viktor Gyökeres commented on Arsenal’s defeat to Bournemouth (2-1) and pointed to the condition of the Emirates pitch as one of the factors that made the team’s task more difficult, on the eve of the gunners hosting Sporting.

“We had some goalscoring chances at the end of the game,” he told the BBC, having scored the gunners’ only goal from the penalty spot. “The pitch was a bit dry, which didn’t help, but of course we all need to improve and take our chances,” he added.

Despite the setback, the Swedish international showed confidence for the London side’s next decisive fixtures, starting with Sporting’s visit in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, after the 1-0 win in Lisbon, followed by a trip to Manchester City.

“I’m very confident. I think we don’t need to dwell too much on what happened today; we have to think positively and look ahead to the next games,” said Viktor Gyökeres. In the Premier League, Arsenal have a six-point lead over City, but with Matheus Nunes’ side still having two games in hand, which leaves the title race wide open.
