Arsenal supporters could not control their excitement after Viktor Gyokeres finally broke his scoring duck in their latest pre-season-friendly.
Last month, the Gunners finally insured their husbands for £ 64 million from Sporting CP, after a long -term transfersaga, which fought the interest of Manchester United.
In the past term, Gyokeres scored 54 club goals in all competitions and is assessed as one of the most productive attackers in Europe.
The new No 14 of Arsenal was unveiled before their 3-2 victory against Newcastle in Singapore. Since then he has made two performances – in defeats of Tottenham and Villarreal – but has emptied both occasions.
Eventually, on Saturday afternoon, the Sweden International marked his arrival in Noord -Londen by scoring the opener in their last summer -friendly against Athletic Club.
The precious moment of Gyokees came just after the half -hour Mark, when he went home an excellent header from a Pinpoint Martin Zubimendi Cross.
The goal sent Arsenal -fans in a frenzy on social media, with many already dreaming about what else can come from their new frontman.
A fan wrote on X: “Ladies and gentlemen Gyokees have arrived,” while another said, “Gyokeres has arrived what a header.”
A third comment: 'The type of goal we have been missing for so long! Great pass, perfect finish! More of this … '
A fourth greeting: “Gyokees first goal in the books and a beauty head,” while another wrote: “Zubimendi and Gyokees. A new partnership has been established. '
Only two minutes after Gyokeres's opener, Bukayo Saka doubled the lead of the hosts and brought the score to 37 minutes with 2-0.
When Gyokeres was withdrawn and replaced by Kai Havertz in the 70th minute, he received a standing ovation from the Emirates -in addition.
Havertz added to Arsenal's lead, making it 3-0 shortly after entering the field.
Saturday's collision was the last of the summer preparations of Arsenal before they compete against Manchester United in Old Trafford in their Premier League opener.
