Mikel Arteta bet on Gyokeres to come good while pointing at Zubimendi's excellent debut season with the Gunners

Playing on the right, with Bukayo Saka rested, Madueke fired home a brilliant finish from outside the area in the first half having burst powerfully from just inside the Brugge half. He then doubled the lead with a simple headed finish in the second half.

Mikel Arteta's biggest kryptonite on his journey to proving he can be the manager to fix Arsenal's trophy drought has been his striking department. And after the Gunners' 3-0 win over Club Brugge in the Champions League on Wednesday night, it seems everyone is making the same worrying point about Viktor Gyokeres.

ARSENAL have allegedly Viktor Gyokeres time off to attend court in his homeland. The big-money summer signing was called as a witness in a case that is set to take place in Sweden in 2026.

Arsenal have come to a decision on their striker position amid the slow start of Gyokeres, with a report naming two superstars from AC Milan and Real Madrid who could be the Gunners' next big signing

The jury is just about still out and waiting to deliver its verdict, but the sight of Gabriel Jesus instantly adding a touch of vim and vigour to Arsenal ’s forward line after nearly 12 months out will hardly have aided Viktor Gyokeres and the case for his defence.

Arsenal supporters were in disbelief that another one of their ex-striker flops Eddie Nketiah scored for Crystal Palace against Fulham.

Mikel Arteta will continue to show faith in Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres despite the Gunners star receiving a lot of criticism from supporters in recent weeks. Gyokeres has scored six goals in 18 appearances in all competitions this season after moving to Arsenal in a deal worth around £64m from Sporting CP.
