JAKARTA - Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres made a promise after showing his sharpness again in the match against Atletico Madrid. Gyokeres have already targeted Crystal Palace after scoring a brace to give Arsenal a 4-0 win over Atletico in the Champions League.

Gyokeres ended goalless records over the past seven games after overcoming a deadlock in the Champions League match at the Emirates Stadium. Now, the striker, who was bought from Sporting Lisbon for 58 million pounds, has scored five goals at Arsenal.

Gyokeres' return into the opponent's goal made the 27th player more confident. He also promised to be ready to give Palace another goal at home to the London Derby at the Emirates, Sunday, October 26, 2025 evening WIB. The match against Palace became the third derby in a row played by the Gunners.

At the previous derby, Arsenal successfully beat West Ham United 2-0 and then won 1-0 over Fulham. The success of achieving maximum points in the two derbys made Arsenal occupy the throne by shifting Liverpool and Manchester City.

Now, Arsenal are aiming for the third derby and Gyokeres, who call himself increasingly hungry, have promised to score again and at the same time bring the team to win again.

"I'm getting hungry now," said Gyokores. You always want to contribute by working hard and others. But when you score goals, this certainly feels more special. That's what I want to do," he said, praising the performance and enthusiasm of the team to win the game.

This team seems to have a different spirit. A very special spirit. When you win by showing an extraordinary performance, it is certain to raise the team's confidence," said Gyokores.

Our confidence is getting stronger. And in the end this really helped the team. We just need to keep it," said the striker who scored 97 goals during 103 times playing at Sporting.

In the match against Atletico, Gyokeres scored the last two goals that put Arsenal 4-0 up. Shortly thereafter he was pulled out to be replaced by Mikel Merino. Supporters stood up and gave a round of applause as Gyokeres left the field.

"He deserves it [standing ovation or applause while standing up from fans]. Especially after watching what he gave to Tim. How he helps the team outside of the goals he has created," said manager Mikel Arteta.

There's nothing to debate anymore. The important thing is to maintain his confidence. In addition, he can enjoy and play loose in every game. I actually also witnessed how they look through pictures and videos. They look happy and happy with him [Gyokers]," he said.

"He made the team better. I think the team is becoming increasingly unpredictable. He shows he is a strong physical player. How he put pressure and controlled the ball is phenomenal. He managed to score goals and I hope he reaches momentum and scores again," said Arteta again.

Arsenal repeated the same story as the previous seasons. This North London club immediately kicked off in the first weeks of the competition.

Currently, Arsenal are at the top with 19 points. A three-point lead with Man City who is in second place.

Followed by Bournemouth's surprise team which has point 15. Same as Liverpool, but Bournemouth is ahead on goal difference so he can be in third place.
