Swedish forward and Sporting CP sensation Viktor Gyokeres amazed fans by scoring a brilliant solo goal and assisting another in a 2-0 UCL win over Stum Graz. The 26-year-old forward, after his superb display, was compared to the likes of Erling Haaland.
Sporting CP recorded their second win in the ongoing UCL league stages, as they claimed a comfortable 2-0 victory over Austrian side Stum Graz. The Lisbon giants broke the deadlock in the 23rd minute of the match through Nuno Santos‘ goal off a misplaced shot from Viktor Gyokeres.
The Swedish forward then doubled the lead in the second half, dribbling the ball from the halfway line past Graz defender Niklas Geyrhofer. He then finished the solo run by rounding the ball away from the goalkeeper, into the net.
Gyokeres has now taken his season tally to 18 goal involvements in just 13 matches, making it one of his best starts to a season. He has already scored 13 goals, two in the UCL. Apart from those, the 26-year-old former Coventry City forward has also scored four goals and provided three assists for the Swedish national team in just four Nations League appearances. Gyokeres’ prolific skills have made him one of the most sought-after players in the transfer market, with Arsenal and Chelsea interested in signing him.
He’s fast and powerful he’s honestly a better version of haaland

However, Gyokeres’ massive £85 million release clause has proved to be a major hindrance. With the win, Sporting CP are now third on the table, with seven points from three matches. They next face tough opponents in Manchester City.

Meanwhile, the Austrian side Stum Graz continued with their poor start to the competition, earning their third defeat of the season. They have already lost matches to Stade Brestois, Club Brugge and Sporting CP, and next face Borussia Dortmund.
