Viktor Gyökeres missed an open goal

Viktor Gyökeres hit the ground running during Arsenal’s Champions League clash with Kairat, smashing the ball past the goalkeeper with incredible force after just two minutes.

However, despite a bright start, things soon took a disastrous turn for the 27-year-old.

In a slightly embarrassing moment, Gyökeres made a truly remarkable error for a player of his calibre.

In the midst of an Arsenal attack, the ball was crossed beautifully into the box, beating the shot-stopper and leaving the striker with an open goal.

Alas, his effort ended up sailing over the bar, leaving his supporters flabbergasted.

One wrote: “How did Gyökeres miss that? Wow”

While another jokingly added: “Great clearance from Gyökeres.”
