Viktor Gyoker grabbed the brace against Leeds with a 5-0 runaway with the Emirates and ultimately scored Arsenal’s first goal as the Swedish star decided to return to his critics during his celebration.
Arsenal’s Star Victor Gyoker admitted he enjoyed critics by pretending to touch his hair in celebration of his second goal against Leeds United during a 5-0 thrashing on the newly declared side.
Gyoker finally got off the gunner’s mark by cutting from the left and rigging in the corner before grabbing the second from the penalty spot from the left, then netting the braces in the Emirates.
Since joining Arsenal this summer for £63 million, the Swedish star has been under a lot of pressure.
Gyokeres scored 54 goals from 52 matches for the Portuguese side last season, and was welcomed as one of Europe’s deadliest finishers, but last week he struggled to fight Arsenal’s Premier League opener.
Many fans chuckle at him for having his untouched hair touch more than the ball, and after grabbing the brace, he decides to fight back by touching the lock again.

When asked by Sky Sports host David Jones if his celebration had something to do with the ock hair lol, he said, “Yes, maybe so… yeah.
Speaking about his shoulders’ expectations of scoring an Arsenal goal, he replied: “It’s always pressure. I know I’ll take my chance sooner or later. We won 5-0. It was a great day. Of course, it was a short preseason for me.
“It was important to get 90 minutes and get the rhythm and get a sense of the team more during this game, and it made me feel more comfortable with how we were playing.
“I’m comfortable when the balls stay inside after they meet, and I can seize the opportunity when there’s something like that.”
When asked about future challenges to ensure Arsenal stays in the title mix, he said: “It’s difficult. Every team we play wants to challenge us. We have to prepare for every game we can, but we have a great team and we work hard every day.
“We started off well with two wins, two clean sheets and a lot of goals. I think we’re on the right path, but we can always improve.”
His manager, Mikel Arteta, was pleased with the striker’s performance.
