Arsenal vs Athletic Bilbao LIVE SCORE: Pre-season friendly on NOW as Saka adds to Gyokeres’ first Gunners goal – latest

From Charlie Wyett at the Emirates

This is exactly why Arsenal have signed Gyokeres and we have seen that famous celebration for the first time.

 It was a terrific header from the Swede while he also played a part in the build-up for Saka’s second soon after.

37. Arsenal cut Athletic Bilbao open in the blink of an eye, and have two goals in as many minutes!

No need for fancy wing play as the hosts go straight through the middle.

Brilliant hold-up play from Viktor Gyokores allows Martin Odegaard to clip a pass over the top, and from there Gabriel Martinelli nudges the ball beyond a stranded Unai Simon and Bukayo Saka steers into the empty net.

Simple.

36. Now Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are cooking.

35. Viktor Gyokores has his Arsenal goal, and it is classic centre-forward play.

Athletic Bilbao thought they had done the hard work by clearing Declan Rice’s corner, but the Gunners kept the ball alive on the right side.

Martin Zubimendi took over, and curled over a terrific cross from out wide for Gyokores.

Peeling off his marker, the striker rose and twisted in one action to divert his header beyond Unai Simon.

The first of many? The Arsenal faithful believe so.
