Viktor Gyoker admitted that he has never seen Martin Zubimendi produce as good volleys in training as his goal for Nottingham Forest.
Zubimendi’s first finish was an epic volley, but his second was an impressive header.
Gyoker admitted that he was surprised to see his teammates produce two moments of such quality.
“I’ve never seen him do that in training, I’ll be fair,” Gyoker said. “So it was good he pulled it out.
“Header likewise, I was a bit surprised by it, but it’s great to see him score two.”
The 3-0 victory was the return of Mikel Arteta’s men to victory after losing their final match before an international break.

Gunner lost 1-0 against Premier League champion Liverpool at Anfield on his final outing.
The victory went on to top Arsenal at the top of the table, with Liverpool in second place.
Both sides have nine points, but the Reds still have the games they will play when they travel to Burnley this weekend.
Gyoker said he was happy to help the side take three points after Arne Slot’s recent disappointment over Liverpool.
“We’re back here. Of course we wanted to perform better than our last game,” he said.
“I think we did that, so it was a great day.
“It’s amazing (scoring). It’s a great feeling to score and win.”
Gyoker arrived after long-term negotiations between Sports CP and his new club and said that it was easy to settle for life at the Emirates.
“It feels good, everyone is amazing,” he said.
“It was very easy to join a group. It’s a bit of a time when you have to calm down with everyone around you. It feels good.”
The Gyokeres were just one of several new signatures the club made in the summer looking to win the Premier League title. He praised the efforts of Noni Maduke and Eberechi Eze, who also participated in the recent transfer window.
“These two are great,” he said. “Their position, they’re always doing something special, and you can definitely see it today.”
On Tuesday, the club faces the Legalega side athletic club and travels to Bilbao for matchups, the first game of the UEFA Champions League campaign this season.
Gyokeres aims to go far in competition with his new club.
“Yeah, we’re focusing on this game and we’re holding a game in the Champions League on Tuesday, so we’re preparing for that game,” he added.
“It’s a competition we want to compete in, so we go there and do our best and win.”
