Viktor Gyökeres missed the chance to make an impact for Arsenal against Club Brugge

Viktor Gyökeres started in Arsenal's 3-0 win at Club Brugge and those who missed the match may have thought he would have scored one, two or possibly even three of his side's goals, but that was certainly not the case.

The Swede was practically non-existent as he played just 61 minutes up front before being withdrawn to allow Gabriel Jesus to come off the bench and make his long-awaited return from injury.

While he did only manage just over an hour on the pitch, supporters can't help but feel like Gyökeres missed a huge chance to make an impact in Belgium.

Viktor Gyökeres was non-existent for Arsenal against Club Brugge

Making his first start since suffering an injury during a 2-0 victory at Burnley at the beginning of November, Gyökeres had a massive opportunity to improve his form and get back to scoring ways at the Jan Breydel Stadium.

However, he failed to do that as he was practically nowhere to be seen at centre forward as he was outshined by Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli, who took the role of goalscorers on the night.

Out of three shots he had, he put just one on target, a first-half header that was easily saved. He struggled to even be involved in any team play, having just 10 touches, playing only four successful passes and controlling the ball five times.

For a player that seriously needs to hit form, that really isn't up to standard. Facing one of the weakest sides in the Champions League, Gyökeres simply had to make the most of the chance, but he really didn't meet expectations.

While it's arguably still early in his Arsenal career, the Sweden international really has to start performing. He has now scored six goals in 18 appearances, being outscored by Bukayo Saka, netting the same amount as Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard and just one more than Mikel Merino and Eberechi Eze.

He is not performing anywhere near the level required to justify the £63million the Gunners spent on him and that has to change soon, especially considering the circumstances in the team. Merino has done an unbelievable job as the makeshift striker, Gabriel Jesus has now returned from injury and Kai Havertz is edging closer to a comeback.

There is only so long Mikel Arteta will keep playing Gyökeres without him scoring until he decides to turn to one of his other options.

He didn't take his chance to impress against Club Brugge and it was just the latest of many lacklustre performances by the Swede. It has to be his last bad game and he really needs to start taking his opportunities now. Time and patience is running out as Arsenal and Arteta need a striker they can fully rely on in a title race.
