a message that summed up the calm confidence around the squad. The win not only added three more points to Arsenal’s title charge, but also highlighted the growing chemistry in attack that has powered their recent run.
The victory came just days after Viktor Gyökeres was named Arsenal Player of the Month for January. Since arriving in north London, the Swede has provided the cutting edge Mikel Arteta was searching for, chipping in with crucial goals in both the Premier League and the FA Cup. His form has quickly made him a fan favourite at the Emirates.
There’s also a clear bond forming between Gyökeres and Gabriel Martinelli. After the Sunderland win, Martinelli joked that he “owes” Gyökeres a few more assists, admitting that the striker’s selfless movement has opened up space for him to score.
The Brazilian added that playing alongside Gyökeres makes his job on the wing “much easier,” a sign of how naturally their partnership is developing.
Photos from the Sunderland game showed the two celebrating together, capturing the positive mood in the Arsenal camp. According to Softfootball, that blend of confidence, form, and chemistry is giving the Gunners real momentum as they head into a crucial run of February fixtures in the title race.
