Arsenal<\/a> extended their excellent start to the Champions League<\/a> campaign with a resounding 4-0 win over Atletico Madrid on Tuesday.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gunners went into the match having already seen off Athletic Club and Olympiacos by 2-0 scorelines, but were given a tough time in the first half as Diego Simeone’s men limited them to just two shots on target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the break, however, it was a different story, with goals from Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Magalhaes, and a Viktor Gyokeres double all in the space of 13 minutes killing the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arsenal are now top of the Champions League table with nine points from three games, sitting level with last season’s finalists, Paris Saint-Germain and Inter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What were the key takeaways from the Emirates Stadium?<\/p>\n\n\n

    Viktor Gyokeres finally ends his drought<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Viktor Gyokeres’ start to life as an Arsenal player has been truly bizarre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Sweden international bagged three goals in his first four appearances, but carried a nine-game drought into this match for club and country. Nevertheless, he still brought plenty of qualities that Arsenal have been missing during that time, acting as a focal point up front. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But a striker with this price tag needs to score goals, and finally, he did just that here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    Viktor Gy\u00f6keres has scored more goals in 3 minutes against Atl\u00e9tico Madrid (2) than in his previous 9 games for Arsenal (1).
