Viktor Gyokeres: Arsenal striker has best game for club since joining with two-goal display vs Tottenham

There are still a lot of questions about Arsenal, the title race and what is to come from them in the run-in this season. But one thing is absolutely certain: Viktor Gyokeres had his best game for the club against Tottenham.

Mikel Arteta, Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher and Jamie Redknapp all felt the Arsenal striker hit a new level in one of Arsenal's biggest games of the season. His two second-half goals saw him share the stage with Eberechi Eze and his own brace, but there was much more to Gyokeres' game than that.

"I thought it was his best moment of the season," said Neville. "Not just because he scored two in a game against the biggest rivals and had a wonderful celebration over there with the Arsenal fans, but because his general performance from start to finish is what you would expect from him."

In his display at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Gyokeres had the most touches he's managed in a single game since joining Arsenal, by quite a distance. He was more involved - but, crucially, those touches led to substantial output.

Gyokeres was central to Arsenal's threat on the night. He nearly gave the Gunners the lead within minutes as he curled a first half shot wide of goal in that left channel - after being given too much space by Radu Dragusin.

It was a warning sign of what was to come - as, again, minutes into the second period he was given the space to fire from the edge of the box to put Arsenal 2-1 up.
