Creates four chances in win
Gyokeres registered one cross (one accurate) and four chances created in Wednesday's 1-0 win against Napoli.
Analysis: Gyokeres made his first start of the season Wednesday as his team began the Champions League campaign. He did not take a single shot but he created four chances for his teammates, only fewer than Martin Odegaard's six. He also recorded one accurate cross. It was Gyokeres' first real minutes of the season and he looked strong, but his utilization as a playmaker rather than a finisher is a bit strange. Time will tell if this was a fluke or if that is a tactical change by the manager.
Makes season debut
Gyokeres recorded no stats in Sunday's 2-1 victory over Chelsea.
Analysis: Gyokeres made his first competitive appearance of the season after remaining an unused substitute in Arsenal's opening two Premier League matches. Kai Havertz remains ahead of him at center-forward, but the return of Champions League football should create additional opportunities for Gyokeres. His physicality, movement in behind and penalty-box finishing give Arsenal a different profile when rotating the attack.
