\n
\n
Mikel Arteta warned the opposing team that Viktor Gyoker could “destroy” after Viktor Gyoker scored Arsenal’s first goal in a 3-0 victory at the Athletic Club. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Gyoker scored for the Emirates with a strong header in the first half as they ended the preseason in the way the Gunners won.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
This was the club’s first goal for Swedish International after continuing a \u00a364 million move from Sports CP, with an alternative look against the Tottenham Hotspur and its first start with Villarreal. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

“That initial goal is always very important,” said Arsenal manager Arteta. “The way he photographed it really worked.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When asked about the hunger of the 27-year-old trying to score a goal, Arteta replied. “That’s his nature.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“Everything he does, his movements, his timing, how he fantasizes the next move, there’s space. That’s his instinct. So he’s scored so many goals over the past few seasons.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Arsenal boss added:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“We have players who can score goals in any situation.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Bukayo Saka doubled Arsenal’s lead and went home to the empty net after being teeed up by Gabriel Martinelli. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Kai Havertz ran through the goal, held out a defender and completed the score late as he packed the house into the lower right corner. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When Fit, Hubert was Arsenal’s main striker last season and despite the arrival of Gjoker, Arteta believes there is still a place on the German side.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“They can play together,” Arteta said. “Kai can also play in a variety of positions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI think it will increase the quality of the team, the threat of the goals that the team has, the options that we have to change and oppose a lot of issues.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“It’s great to both score points. Both are in such a good form, and that’s a good question.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The victory means Arsenal won three of the five preseason fixtures, as well as AC Milan and Newcastle United.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

However, it was their first victory in three times, following a loss to the Spurs and Villarreal. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

They launched their Premier League campaign next Sunday, travelling to Old Trafford to face Manchester United.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“The Game I’ll Never Forget” – Return to “Emotional” and Return to United<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

David De Gere said Fiorentina’s 1-1 draw against Manchester United “will never forget the game.” The Spanish goalkeeper returned to Old Trafford two years after leaving the club. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

De Gea stayed with United for 12 years in 2023, maintaining 190 clean sheets with 545 appearances.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The 34-year-old was the first player to warm up on Saturday, receiving a standing ovation from Old Trafford, just as he did at the start of the game and when he was replaced. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“It’s a game I’ll never forget,” DeGia said. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“It can be hard to see the crowd and explain in words how you feel on the pitch, to all the people there. That was so emotional for me.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

United endured last season’s worst Premier League campaign, finishing 15th, before finishing eighth in the season following DeGia’s departure. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

However, the Spaniard is optimistic that things will turn around on his previous side. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“I know it’s been a few years since United struggled a little,” DeGear said. “But it’s one of the best clubs in the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cIt’s a big club and I hope that with new signatures and managers starting a new era this year, they can do something big.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Simon Sohm opened up Fiorentina’s score at Old Trafford on Saturday, just eight minutes before Robbingusens’ own goal leveled the match midway through the opening period. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Neither side could find a winner for the remaining 65 minutes of the contest, but it was United who scored 5-4 in the subsequent penalty shootout. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

New signing Benjamin Sesco was presented to home fans before kickoff after completing his move on Friday, along with fellow rookies Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo who started the match. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As a result, United are undefeated in five preseason games, but they won in a victory over West Ham United and Bournemouth, previously facing Leeds United and Everton.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
