Ruthless Gunners Dismantle Simeone’s SideArsenal delivered a performance full of confidence and control as they brushed aside Atletico Madrid 4-0 in a one-sided

Arsenal secured a significant Champions League win by thrashing Atletico Madrid 4-0 today. After a goalless first half, Gabriel headed home a free kick and Gabriel Martinelli curled in off the post. Viktor Gyokeres then scored twice in four minutes to give the hosts a thumping victory in north London.

Mikel Arteta has challenged Viktor Gyokeres to build on his brace against Atletico Madrid after hailing his new striker for making Arsenal a much better team. Gyokeres ended his seven-match streak without a goal by scoring twice in three minutes at the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal completed a thumping 4-0 win in the Champions League.

Alan Shearer was ‘pretty alarmed’ by Viktor Gyokeres’ lack of involvement before he ended his drought with two goals in Arsenal’s Champions League victory over Atletico Madrid. The Gunners scored four goals in 13 second-half minutes to thrash Atletico 4-0 at the Emirates Stadium and maintain their perfect record in the Champions League.

Viktor Gyokeres has scored three times in 11 appearances for Arsenal since joining the club in a £55m deal during the summer transfer window.

It is worth bearing that in mind when assessing the somewhat frustrating performances of Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyokeres in this 1-0 win at a ground where Arsenal had taken just one point from their previous two visits.

Viktor Gyokeres is enduring a goal drought early in his career at Arsenal, but manager Mikel Arteta had already prepared him for such a challenge. The Swedish striker, who joined the Gunners after a prolific spell at Sporting Club, is yet to find the same level of scoring consistency in England.
