Gyokeres Ends Goal Drought as Arsenal Crush Atletico 4–0 to Maintain Perfect Champions League Start

• Viktor Gyökeres scored twice as Arsenal thrashed Atletico Madrid 4–0 at the Emirates, keeping their perfect Champions League run alive.

Viktor Gyökeres scored twice as Arsenal dismantled Atletico Madrid 4–0 at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night, extending their flawless start to the UEFA Champions League campaign.

Goals from Gabriel Magalhaes, Gabriel Martinelli, and a double from Gyökeres sealed the emphatic win as the Gunners maintained their position among the few teams — alongside Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan — with a perfect nine points from three games.

Gyökeres, who joined Arsenal from Sporting Lisbon to solve their number-nine problem, ended his nine-match goal drought in a blistering 13-minute spell after the hour mark.

Despite a lively start from Diego Simeone’s side, Atletico’s resistance crumbled as Declan Rice set up Gabriel’s opener from a well-executed free kick. Martinelli doubled the lead before Gyökeres struck twice to complete the rout.
