Troy Deeney Questions Narratives Around Arsenal Player
Troy Deeney is confused by the revisionism surrounding one Arsenal player after their 4-0 win over Atletico Madrid.
Arsenal's victory, courtesy of goals from Gabriel Magalhaes, Gabriel Martinelli, and a Viktor Gyokeres brace, propelled them to fourth in the Champions League League Phase table.
Deeney believes the praise for one player has gone too far, specifically Viktor Gyokeres, who was signed for £63 million in the summer.
The Swede has struggled in certain games for the Gunners and was in desperate need of a goal prior to the Atletico clash.
Gyokeres had netted just three times in eleven appearances before the Atletico match, but his goals helped alleviate pressure on him to deliver.
