Gyokeres celebrates by stroking his hair and challenging the fans

Gyokeres stroked his hair after scoring.

In the final minute of stoppage time, Viktor Gyokeres successfully kicked a penalty to seal the score at 5-0. After completing his double, the Swede walked towards the camera and continuously stroked his hair, accompanied by a defiant look on his face.

This seems to be a response to the sarcasm and ridicule from fans, when Gyokeres did not play well against Manchester United in the opening match and the first half of the match against Leeds. During the trip to Old Trafford, the former Sporting star did not have a single shot on target and had to leave the field early. The most expensive striker in Arsenal's history was mocked for "preferring to stroke his hair rather than shoot".

In the match against Leeds, Gyokeres was also ridiculed. In the 15th minute, a Leeds defender made a careless pass in his own half. Martin Zubimendi's attempt to close the ball accidentally sent the ball to Gyokeres.

With only the goalkeeper in front of him, the striker turned around and shot the ball straight into the billboard. In the technical area, coach Mikel Arteta covered his face, clearly regretting his student's missed opportunity.

Gyokeres was met with a barrage of ridicule on social media. “How did he miss that?” one fan commented. “Maguire is a better striker than this guy,” a second said. “The biggest bluff in history,” a third fan mocked.

After a lacklustre first-half display, Gyokeres silenced his critics with two goals, one of which was a powerful run, before finishing past Leeds to make it 3-0 to Arsenal in the 49th minute.
