Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta expressed satisfaction with Viktor Gyökeres’ Premier League debut during the 1-0 victory over Manchester United.
The win was secured thanks to a first-half goal by Riccardo Calafiori.
Gyökeres’ Role in the Match
Arteta started Gyökeres as the main attacking option, leaving Kai Havertz on the bench.
Although the 27-year-old striker did not score, Arteta focused on the positives.
He told reporters:
- “Gyökeres did a lot of very good things, I’m happy.”
- “You can tell in our high press and in the rhythm we demand, there’s things we need to work on.”
- “Coming away to Manchester United and getting a win in your first game, a very good start.”
Looking Ahead
Arsenal’s next Premier League match is at home against Leeds United on Saturday.
