Sweden Suffers Shock Defeat to Kosovo
Sweden's World Cup dreams are fading after a 1-0 loss to Kosovo, with Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres failing to make an impact.
Gyokeres, who has not scored for Sweden in almost a year, started alongside Liverpool's Alexander Isak but was unable to influence the game. The only goal was scored by Fisnik Asllani.
Gyokeres has high standards for himself, so the striker will know more than anyone that the goals just aren’t flowing right now.
Both Isak and Gyokeres have struggled early in the season, and Sweden's chances of qualifying for the World Cup have shrunk considerably. At Arsenal, Gyokeres has scored three Premier League goals in seven appearances, an average start to the season.
