Gyokeres: rising form or false dawn? Breaking down this week's stats

Viktor Gyokeres opened his Premier League account with two goals against Leeds United at the Emirates on Saturday afternoon. Is this a turning point or just a false dawn. Let's have a look at his contribution in detail.

It's relatively easy to explain the difference between the Viktor Gyokeres the world saw at Old Trafford last Saturday and the Gyokeres who turned up at the Emirates on Saturday. That difference was fitness and energy.

From the very first minute the Swedish striker was bang at it. The Arsenal number 14 closed down Joe Rodon so quickly, as Rodon received the ball in the right back position, that the Leeds United defender could do nothing more than gift possession straight back to Arsenal.

It's these moments that often go unnoticed in player analyses. Gyokeres' determination to close down the Leeds defence so early on, and his physical ability to cover the ground so quickly to do so, set the tempo for the entire match.

This player analysis will explore Gyokeres' influence in an encounter that saw him have the fewest touches of any player (on either side) who completed 90 minutes. It will analyse the Swede's key contributions in an easy victory for Arsenal and consider if Gyokers' two goal home debut ushers in a new dawn...or a false one.
