Arsenal legend Ray Parlour believes Viktor Gyokeres can follow in the footsteps of Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry despite criticism over his debut performance on Sunday. The Swedish striker started the 1-0 win at Manchester United, but was replaced 60 minutes in after an ineffective display.

Arsenal defied a largely below-par performance to beat Manchester United 1-0 at Old Trafford and make a winning start to their Premier League campaign. The Gunners were not at their best in defence or attack, but a Riccardo Calafiori header from a corner proved enough to earn them three points.

Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has issued a warning to Viktor Gyokeres after his subdued Arsenal debut. Gyokeres struggled to make an impact in Arsenal’s Premier League opener at Old Trafford on Sunday and was replaced in the second half by Kai Havertz.
