Troy Deeney is confused by the revisionism surrounding one Arsenal player after their 4-0 win over Atletico Madrid.
Mikel Arteta's side thrashed Atletico, with goals from Gabriel Magalhaes, Gabriel Martinelli, and a brace from Viktor Gyokeres, moving them up to fourth in the Champions League League Phase table.
Deeney believes the praise for one player has gone overboard, citing Viktor Gyokeres as an example. Gyokeres, who was signed for £63 million, had struggled in certain games and was in need of a goal prior to the Atletico clash.
Gyokeres had netted just three times in eleven appearances before the Atletico match, putting pressure on him to deliver.
Fortunately, he scored, alleviating some pressure on him and the team.
