Goal scoring issues somewhat solved?

In truth, not really, but four goals in two games with Trossard, Gabriel Martinelli, and Kai Havertz, who endured some harsh criticism after his Manchester United display, found the back of the next to restore some confidence.

Given that the Gunners have been able to score a little more freely, are the issues solved? We don't think so, but adding in a striker to complement the form of Martinelli, Trossard and to a lesser extent Havertz is crucial.

It's not fixed by any means, but at least we are putting a few away each game, right?
