Overview

• Arsenal beat Olympiacos 2-0 in the Champions League, with Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka scoring to keep a perfect start in the competition.
• Mikel Arteta said Viktor Gyökeres is getting better every game and described his overall performance as exceptional despite the lack of goals.
• Alan Shearer praised Gyökeres for his runs in behind, strength and role in Martinelli’s opener, noting the striker also struck the post.
• Jermaine Jenas questioned Gyökeres’ technical fit within Arsenal’s possession game but credited his box movement and tap-in positioning.
• Gyökeres’ five-game drought comes after a £64m summer move from Sporting CP, with competition likely to rise when Kai Havertz is expected to return in late November.
