Troy Deeney has expressed confusion over the revisionism surrounding one Arsenal player following the team's 4-0 win over Atletico Madrid.
Arsenal's victory, which featured goals from Gabriel Magalhaes, Gabriel Martinelli, and a brace from Viktor Gyokeres, moved the team to fourth in the Champions League's League Phase table.
Deeney believes the praise for Gyokeres has been excessive, given the player's struggles in certain games and his need for a goal prior to the Atletico match.
Gyokeres, who was signed for £63 million in the summer, had netted only three times in eleven appearances before the Atletico clash.
Deeney is confused by some of the revisionism around one Arsenal player since the Gunners’ win over Atletico Madrid on Tuesday.
Arsenal's win has eased the pressure on Gyokeres, but Deeney's comments highlight the ongoing debate about the player's performance.
