"Missing from the first minute. Viktor Gyokeres started and looked good. But he tired quickly. And became sluggish. The number of errors increased and he ended up being one of the weakest on the pitch," reads a renowned Swedish newspaper.

"His form has been declining lately. We don’t know what’s going on, but he doesn’t seem to believe in himself much at the moment. He looks resigned and uncomfortable," wrote the outlet, criticizing the former Sporting player’s performances.
