""Apart from that miss, his centre forward play has been superb. His running off the ball, his hold up play for his team, taking knocks all night and making runs he really has been exceptional. It's exactly the type of performance his team needed from him and something to build on. He offered Arsenal so much tonight.""
""Rather than just playing as a traditional, static target man, Gyokeres has been given the tactical freedom to relentlessly terrorise the channels, and it worked to perfection against Atletico. He was completely unplayable, brilliantly holding up the ball under immense pressure and constantly dragging Atletico's seasoned centre-backs out of position.""

Bukayo Saka scored the decisive goal, but Alan Shearer praised striker Viktor Gyokeres for his exceptional performance. Gyokeres showcased impressive hold-up play and tactical freedom, effectively disrupting Atletico's defense. His ability to draw defenders out of position and engage physically was crucial for Arsenal's success in this match.
