""Very happy. He deserves it," Arteta told BBC Match of the Day about Gyokeres. "He is a super committed player, and he wants to get better. He saw the line-up, and I told him he'd come in and make an impact.""
""A really tough game against a really tough opponent," he added. "We scored a really beautiful goal with Zubi. "They can really break your rhythm, and they're really good in what they do. The subs became critical. It was wonderful to watch. "Technically, tactically, mentally [Arsenal were great]. We played a semi-final here a few games ago. It was a very good atmosphere in the stadium, and that's what we need. The home form has been really good.""
Viktor Gyokeres scored a second-half brace after coming off the bench to secure Arsenal's 3-0 win over Sunderland. Martin Zubimendi opened the scoring with a stunning goal before half-time. Gyokeres struck six minutes after entering and added a stoppage-time finish. Six of his eight Premier League goals have come against promoted sides, and he scored in consecutive league games for the first time as an Arsenal player. Since the turn of the year Gyokeres has six goals across all competitions, more than any other Premier League player. Arsenal moved at least nine points clear at the top.
