Liverpool x Arsenal: Viktor Gyökeres misses the Gunners’ defeat

Arsenal suffered a 1-0 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield this weekend, with Dominik Szoboszlai’s late free-kick sealing the result. The loss dealt a blow to Mikel Arteta’s ambitions in the Premier League and highlighted the struggles of new signing Viktor Gyökeres, who failed to register a single shot on target.

Gyökeres Goes Blank in Key Clash

The Swedish striker, brought in to be Arsenal’s main attacking reference, endured a frustrating afternoon. Despite starting the match, Gyökeres found little space against Liverpool’s defense and left the pitch without attempting a single shot.

The Gunners dominated possession in stretches but lacked effectiveness in the final third. Without their striker posing a threat, Arsenal struggled to capitalize on opportunities and left Anfield empty-handed.

Pressure Mounts on Arsenal’s New Striker

Signed with high expectations, Gyökeres has yet to find his rhythm in London. His muted display in a high-stakes rivalry match has increased pressure on the 26-year-old to deliver quickly and justify his transfer fee.

What’s Next for the Gunners

Arsenal must regroup quickly, with their Champions League debut against Athletic Bilbao on September 16 looming large. Arteta’s side will need sharper finishing if they are to compete on both domestic and European fronts.
