Viktor Gyökeres, the new Arsenal striker signed from Sporting Lisbon for £63.5 million, struggled in his first Premier League match as Arsenal beat Manchester United 1-0 at Old Trafford. The 27-year-old Swedish forward failed to register a single shot on target and was substituted in the 60th minute. Despite trying to make an impact through movement and effort, Gyökeres didn’t receive many passes and lost the ball five times. This raised concerns among Arsenal fans about whether he can truly help the team compete for the Premier League title. Coach Mikel Arteta defended the player, saying the whole team didn’t perform well in midfield. He said, “Gyökeres did some good things. Winning the first game at Old Trafford is a positive start.” The only goal of the game came in the 13th minute, scored by Riccardo Calafiori after a corner kick from Declan Rice, which United’s goalkeeper failed to handle properly. Even though the match wasn’t exciting, Arsenal secured a solid win to start the season. Their next game is against Leeds United, and fans will be watching to see if Gyökeres can show his real potential.
