Speaking after the game, Gyokeres told Viaplay, via BBC, "[Gabriel is] welcome to steal it if he can't create his own celebration! I didn't know he did that, but it's fun he likes my celebration."

Gyokeres struggled to get past Saliba and Gabriel all through the game and was limited to just a few shots in the game.

The striker, who is currently the most in-form forward in Europe, has scored five goals in the Champions League this season but was pocketed by the Arsenal defenders.
