"I think that when he has someone like Eze close, and he can pick out the weakest defender, Dragusin was the weakest, and when we saw that, he showed he can be very effective. I was always looking at the finishing with Gyokeres, how quickly he can get it down and finish it. It was like how Odegaard set him up; he just moved the defender and finished it."
"Yes, I think so. I think Tottenham were poor with how they tried to mark him. Eze made a great run for his first goal. But I was always looking at the finishing with Gyokeres, how quickly he can get it down and finish it."
"I said he could get between 10 and 12, but if he carries on now, he could get more. If he can get on that run now, hopefully he can score those goals. People always talk about him scoring against the lower-end teams, which he did in Portugal, but that's what Arsenal need."
Arsenal defeated Tottenham 4-1 with both Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyokeres scoring braces. Ian Wright credits Eze's positioning and connection with Gyokeres for making the striker significantly more effective. Wright highlights how Eze's movement allowed Gyokeres to identify Tottenham's weakest defender, Dragusin, and exploit those vulnerabilities. Gyokeres demonstrated quick finishing and clinical execution, similar to how Odegaard sets him up. Wright believes Gyokeres' performance was his best yet and predicts he could exceed his initial projection of 10-12 goals if he maintains this form, particularly against lower-tier defenses.
