Gyökeres scores in 7th straight Nations League game, none for Arsenal

📰 Arsenal striker Viktor Gyökeres extended his Nations League scoring streak to seven games with the winner away in Romania. 📌 Key points ⚽ He scored the winner in the 12th minute away in Bucharest on 5 October. 📈 He extended the first-ever Nations League scoring streak to seven games. 🔁 He had already surpassed Mitrović and Šeško's five-game record. 🗓️ He scored in all four games of this international break. 🏟️ Sweden stayed top of their group unbeaten (W3 D1). 📝 What happened ⚽ On 2 October in Bosnia, Sweden led through Gyökeres's 61st-minute goal but conceded an 80th-minute equaliser to draw 1-1. That goal made Gyökeres the first player to score in six consecutive Nations League games. It was also Bosnian legend Edin Džeko's farewell match for his country. 🎯 Three days later, on 5 October, Gyökeres struck again against Romania at the Arena Națională in Bucharest. According to beIN Sports, when Sebastian Nanasi's shot came back off the post in the 12th minute, Gyökeres quickly tapped it in. That goal proved the winner as Sweden won 1-0. 📈 According to Yahoo Sports, Gyökeres has now scored in seven consecutive Nations League games, netting 10 goals in that period alone. His overall Nations League record is 14 goals in 15 games. The streak began against Estonia in October 2024. 🧤 It was not a one-sided game. Only one of Gyökeres's four shots was on target, and in the second half goalkeeper Viktor Johansson kept out efforts from Stanciu and Tănase to protect the lead. 📊 By the numbers • Romania 0-1 Sweden (Gyökeres 12') • Seven consecutive Nations League games with a goal (a first), 10 goals in that run • Nations League: 14 goals in 15 games; 25 goals for Sweden overall • This international break: 4 goals in 4 games • Sweden top of the group on 10 points, 2 ahead of second-placed Bosnia 🔭 Why it matters Graham Potter's Sweden are on the brink of returning to Nations League A with an unbeaten run, and Gyökeres is at the heart of it. However, Yahoo Sports noted he is still waiting for his first Arsenal goal this season. Arsenal host Leeds on 10 October. The question is whether his international form will carry over to Arsenal.
