Gyökeres Scores Again as Eze Shines with First Arsenal Assist

Viktor Gyökeres scored his third goal for Arsenal, assisted by Eberechi Eze in a win over Nottingham Forest. Their teamwork helped Arsenal secure another three points early in the Premier League season.

GYÖKERES AND EZE STAR IN DOMINANT WIN

Arsenal started the second half against Forest strongly. Eze crossed into the area to find Gyökeres unmarked, and the Swedish striker calmly finished to score his third goal since joining. This moment was also significant for Eze, who registered his first assist in an Arsenal shirt after his summer transfer, increasing his influence in the team’s attack.

ARSENAL’S STRONG START TO THE SEASON

The Gunners have started the 2025/26 season strongly, currently sitting in third place in the Premier League with nine points after four matches. Gyökeres was signed for €63 million after impressing at Sporting, where he scored 54 times and set up 13 goals last season, leading the Primeira Liga in scoring. Although he had a quiet debut, he settled quickly, scoring twice against Leeds in a match where he shone brightly, as noted in reports confirming his two goals contributing to a 5-0 victory. Eze’s arrival has added creativity and energy, with his first assist highlighting this. Arsenal’s convincing win put them in the top four, and fans are optimistic as their new signings adapt to Mikel Arteta’s tactical style.

KEY FIXTURES AHEAD

Arsenal host Manchester City next in the Premier League after their Champions League opener at Athletic Club. Man City are currently mid-table and eager to earn points at home. Arsenal are now level on points with Tottenham, who are only behind on goal difference. Forest’s struggles continue, as they remain near the relegation zone and are yet to keep a clean sheet this season. For Arsenal, maintaining their momentum will be vital in a title challenge. The next few games will test Gyökeres and Eze’s partnership and see if they can become one of the league’s most dangerous duos.
