Gyokeres shines at Arsenal, City in the spotlight for wrong reasons | OneFootball

Viktor Gyokeres was a starter in the Arsenal - Manchester City match, which took place last Sunday, September 21st, for the fifth round of the Premier League. Mikel Arteta's team managed to snatch a draw in injury time, but it did not negate the poor performance of the Swedish international.

The former Sporting forward did not make any shots, had no successful dribbles, and lost possession 13 times during the reception to Pep Guardiola's team, ending up as one of the main highlights - negatively - of the Gunners' side.

However, the poor numbers don't stop there. The Londoners' 'number 14' only won two of the seven duels he engaged in during the match. The only slightly positive aspect was the passing percentage, which stood at 62%, with eight accurate passes out of 13. Gyokeres recently commented on his departure from Sporting.

As for the game, the Manchester team opened the scoring in the ninth minute, courtesy of Erling Haaland. City ended up controlling the result, but it backfired: in added time, at 90'+3, Gabriel Martinelli scored the equalizing goal for the home team.
