Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres has said his new goal celebration “might” have been a response to his critics. Gyokeres, the big summer signing from Sporting CP, got off the mark for his new club with a brace as Arsenal thumped Leeds 5-0 on Saturday.

Gyokeres endured a tough debut at Old Trafford last week, making just four passes in an hour. The Swede has a tendency to push his hair back during games, and rival fans were quick to mock the new Arsenal No.14 for sorting his barnet out more than he passed the ball.
