Viktor Gyokeres, who scored a remarkable 97 goals in 102 matches for Sporting CP, fluffed a brilliant opportunity to open his Arsenal account in the first-half when, unmarked and just eight yards out, he dragged his shot wide.

Gyokeres endured a tough debut at Old Trafford last week, making just four passes in an hour. The Swede has a tendency to push his hair back during games, and rival fans were quick to mock the new Arsenal No.14 for sorting his barnet out more than he passed the ball.

Viktor Gyokeres has confirmed that his cheeky hair-flick celebration in Arsenal’s 5-0 win over Leeds was a response to those who had mocked his performance against Manchester United.
