Viktor Gyokeres struck early at Emirates, marking his 20th goal of the season and becoming the first Arsenal player to reach double‑digits in his debut campaign since Alexis Sanchez. The opener helped secure a 2‑1 win over Fulham, boosting Arsenal’s push for the title.

Arteta praised Gyokeres’ contribution, noting his goal‑scoring and assist in the same match, the first time the winger has done so in a league game. With 14 league goals, Gyokeres has turned a once‑criticised striker into a key weapon, turning defeats into victories amid injury woes.

The forward’s consistency across the last eight matches has steadied Arsenal’s attack, limiting losses to three when he starts. As the Gunners enter the final stretch, Gyokeres’ form could seal the Premier League trophy for the club’s first title in 22 years.
