There he sat in the stands and saw when his compatriot Anthony Elanga scored a goal for his Newcastle.
A perfect start for Anthony Elanga, who before the coming season has signed for Newcastle. He made his first substitute appearance recently against Celtic and now got to play from the start against Arsenal.
Elanga quickly got into the game and already in the fifth minute, Sandro Tonali made a pass to a completely free Elanga in the penalty area who could score a goal, despite an imperfect ball hit.
Arsenal then turned the game around and won with 3–2.
Viktor Gyökeres, who followed the match from the stands, received a warm welcome from his Arsenal. He can make his debut for his new team on Thursday when Arsenal meet Tottenham in Hong Kong.
