Sporting Lisbon striker Victor Yjekeres found it funny that defender Gabriel Magalhaes was unable to come up with his own celebration and had to steal one to celebrate a goal in Arsenal

‘s 5-1 win. Sporting Lisbon’s new manager Joao Pereira was down seven minutes into the game at home before Magalhaes headed a corner in stoppage time and celebrated similarly to Yjekeres, except with his hand over his mouth instead. Yjekeres had scored a hat-

trick against Manchester City in the Champions League earlier in the season. But was unharm on Tuesday despite being on the pitch for the full time. With Sporting having a consolation goal from Gonzalo Inacio.

“It’s funny that Gabriel likes my celebrations… ufabet http://ufabet999.app If he can’t come up with his own, he can steal them,” the 26-year-old Sweden forward said after the game.

The result handed Portugal’s league leaders their first defeat of the season in Europe. But still clinging to the automatic qualification zone at number 8 and Jökeres was asked. Whether Arsenal are a more difficult opponent than City:

“It’s difficult for me to answer that. We didn’t play as well as against City. It is difficult when you mostly have to come into the middle of the pitch to receive the ball, but that can happen. “

We conceded early like against City and you cannot always come back easily. Now we have one or two difficult days and then we have to move on.”

Kai Havertz, the Arsenal striker, was asked about the performance of his opponent and gave his answer: “Today, Jökeres was not that dangerous, but I think it’s because we defended well.”
