Viktor Gyokeres will return to Arsenal after scoring in all four of Sweden’s matches during the international break, with his latest goal securing a 1-0 win over Romania.
The striker struck in the 13th minute in Bucharest on Monday, reacting first after Sebastian Nanasi’s effort hit the woodwork.
As FotMob’s match report details, that proved enough for Graham Potter’s side to complete their opening four Nations League fixtures unbeaten.
Sweden lead Group B4 with 10 points, two ahead of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Gyokeres brings scoring form back to Arsenal
Gyokeres had already scored against Romania and Poland before finding the net in Friday’s draw with Bosnia.
Monday’s winner completed a productive spell for the Arsenal forward, whose attention now turns to Saturday’s Premier League meeting with Leeds United.
He could have added another before half-time, but failed to direct a header on target from Eric Smith’s cross. Goalkeeper Viktor Johansson then made important saves to preserve Sweden’s advantage.
For Mikel Arteta, the encouraging development is the consistency of Gyokeres’ contributions across the break.
His case for a role against Leeds was already worth examining before the latest international fixtures. Four goals give that discussion fresh relevance as Arsenal prepare to resume their league campaign.
Arteta still has a selection decision to make, but Gyokeres heads back to club football having scored every time Sweden called on him during this window.
