The Arsenal forward ended a seven-game goal drought by scoring twice in the 4-0 victory at the Emirates Stadium, bringing his season tally to five since joining the club from Sporting Lisbon for £58 million.
Manager Mikel Arteta has urged Gyokeres to maintain his momentum, with Arsenal returning to domestic action against London rivals Crystal Palace this Sunday.
Speaking after the Champions League triumph, the 27-year-old expressed his hunger to contribute not only through work rate but also with goals, emphasizing the confidence and belief instilled in the team through strong performances.
Arsenal have enjoyed a perfect start in Europe, winning all three matches while keeping clean sheets. Goalkeeper David Raya highlighted the importance of defensive solidity, praising the team’s depth and versatility, which allows players to adapt to multiple positions and maintain competitiveness in both training and matches.
The Gunners head into the weekend fixtures as Premier League leaders, three points clear of Manchester City, with Liverpool a further point behind. Arsenal’s blend of attacking efficiency and defensive discipline has set a strong foundation for both domestic and European campaigns.
