Viktor Gyokeres got his first taste of Arsenal football just five days after joining up with his new teammates, but struggled to influence the play in a 13-minute cameo as the Gunners chased an opener. He will have another opportunity to find his first Arsenal goal as Villarreal visit the Emirates next week.

Arsenal finally have their striker, Mikel Arteta just does not want to use him too much yet. In the first north London derby ever to take place overseas Tottenham beat Arsenal 1-0, but the most significant moment was a debut for Viktor Gyokeres.
