The Swedish striker had gone seven games without scoring, but he broke that streak by netting twice in a stunning 4-0 victory to cap a superb night at the Emirates.
Gyokeres celebrated both goals with his trademark routine, and the striker admitted the performance has reignited his hunger for goals, giving him renewed confidence as he looks ahead to Sunday’s clash with Crystal Palace.
“It’s always amazing to score goals and to do it here in this competition, it's a great feeling,” he said post-match.
“I'm more hungry now. You always want to contribute with work rate and other stuff but when you score goals as well, it's a bit special. So that's something I always want to do.
“(The support from his teammates) means a lot, they're amazing. I think the group we have and the spirit is something different and something very special.
“It feels great. We did a lot of things right today and the performance was amazing.”
