Arsenal secures 4-0 Champions League win over Atletico Madrid with Gyokeres brace

Viktor Gyokeres delivered a standout performance in Arsenal's 4-0 Champions League victory over Atletico Madrid, scoring two goals that ended his seven-game goal drought and earned him Man of the Match honors. Manager Mikel Arteta praised Gyokeres not only for his goals but also for his pressing, hold-up play, and overall work rate, emphasizing the striker's positive contribution to the team's dynamics beyond scoring. The Gunners scored all four goals within a 13-minute spell in the second half, with Gyokeres' brace capping off the dominant display that reinforced Arsenal's perfect Champions League record and lifted them to third in their group. Despite early-season challenges, including increased playing time due to a teammate's injury, Gyokeres' persistence and team support have been key to his resurgence. Arsenal's win marked their 100th Champions League victory, highlighting their strong form under Arteta, who hopes this performance sparks a sustained scoring run for Gyokeres. The striker himself expressed satisfaction with the team's control during the match and the achievement of scoring while keeping a clean sheet.
