Gyokeres says Arsenal ‘more motivated’ after Carabao Cup final loss | OneFootball

Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres says they will use their Carabao Cup final defeat to Manchester City as motivation for the rest of the season.

Mikel Arteta’s men were beaten 2-0 at Wembley but are still in with a chance to win three trophies this season, and the Swede says the squad can use the international break to put the disappointing defeat behind them.

“I think we of course don’t feel great right now, but it’s not like we have the game in three days, it’s a few weeks until the next one and for sure we’ll go again and be even more motivated for those games coming up,” he said.

The first goal in the game came in the second half from Nico O’Reilly, following a costly mistake from goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Gyokeres said the first goal in a game like this was always going to be crucial: “Yes, normally when it’s two top teams it can be like that and in the moment of the game where they scored it was of course difficult to get out of that afterwards, but it is what it is.”
