Arsenal’s striker Viktor Gyökeres gave credit to the team meeting for a comprehensive 4-1 win against Tottenham Hotspur at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, on Sunday. Gyökeres scored a brace in the team’s much-needed win against the Lilywhites.

The Gunners had dropped points against Brentford and the lowest-placed team Wolves as they had shared the spoils against these two teams.

Meanwhile, Eberechi Eze found the back of the net in the 32nd minute, but Randal Kolo Muani scored the equaliser for the home team after two minutes. However, Arsenal responded strongly in the second half to bag all three points as they netted three more goals.

Gyökeres, who extended his league tally to the season for 10, said: “It’s always going to be difficult when you get a result like we had at Wolves, but it’s how you handle that, and how you respond to it, and today we showed that it in a good way.

“To get this result and this performance, it was the perfect way to respond. So, it’s a good sign. The thing is, that we have to keep showing it in the next game and the game after that. There’s a lot of games to go. But if we perform like this, it’s going to be good, for sure.”

Ahead of the Sunday clash, the team’s midfielder Declan Rice revealed the players spoke to each other in a firm way.

Gyökeres continued: “It’s important sometimes just to say what you feel and to let it all out in the group.

“Most of us spoke. Everyone can recognise how different people feel in the moment and you get a better understanding of the feeling.

“When you speak in the group openly like that, you come closer together and it’s very important to do that sometimes.

“If you’re not honest, I think it’s hard to improve. It was a good chat, we certainly enjoyed today, and now we’re going to prepare for a big game against Chelsea next weekend.”

Arsenal will next take on Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
