Tottenham Stuns Arsenal With Long-Range Wonder Goal
Viktor Gyökeres made his long-awaited debut for Arsenal in a pre-season North London Derby against Tottenham Hotspur — but it was the visitors who stole the spotlight with a goal-of-the-summer contender.
It was a tough day at the office for Arsenal — not only did they fall 0–1 to arch-rivals, but they also walked away with two major injury concerns.
Both Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard picked up knocks during the game, sending a wave of anxiety through the Emirates Stadium faithful just weeks before the start of the Premier League season.
The injuries have also sparked criticism towards manager Mikel Arteta, who opted to keep several of his key players — including Saka and Trossard — on the pitch for over 80 minutes in what was essentially a friendly fixture.
Saka was seen limping off after a heavy collision with Mathys Tel, and early signs suggest a potential ligament issue. The full extent of the injury is expected to be confirmed after medical tests in the coming days.
