Viktor Gyokeres ended his wait for another Premier League goal over the weekend as he helped power Arsenal towards a win over Burnley. The striker has received mixed verdicts over his time with the Gunners so far, following his transfer in the summer.

Arsenal took the lead on 14 minutes, Viktor Gyokeres heading home from a matter of inches after Gabriel had headed a Declan Rice corner back across the Burnley goal.
