Arsenal’s head coach Mikel Arteta was pleased with striker Viktor Dyokereš’s performance in the Champions League match against Atlético Madrid (4:0).

It was important to maintain self-belief and keep a positive emotional state so that he could enjoy football and play freely.
I think today it was just that because there was a big smile on his face. And also, look at his teammates—they’re all happy for him because he fully deserved it. We all appreciate him because he makes us much better as a team. I think we have become more unpredictable with him.
He has great physical qualities, he creates free spaces for everyone. And the way he presses and holds the ball is just phenomenal. And the goals are the cherry on top. He scored two very difficult goals today, and hopefully, this will be the start of a good scoring streak for him,» quoted Arteta by the BBC.
