Viktor Gyokeres: Arsenal striker sets new record after outscoring Cristiano Ronaldo and Erling Haaland

In addition, Gyokeres’ goals in the Nations League ultimately played a big role in helping Sweden to earn promotion to League B as they topped Group C1 ahead of Slovakia, Estonia and Azerbaijan.

And the striker has picked up from where he left off, scoring in all three games in the new 2026/27 Nations League campaign against Romania, Poland and Bosnia.

Having also netted in the final three games of the 24/25 campaign, it means Gyokeres has now scored in six consecutive Nations League matches - becoming the first player in the competition’s history, albeit brief, to achieve such a feat.

Gyokeres, who had a goal in the first half on Friday evening disallowed, got his moment just after the hour mark in Zenica as he held off a challenge before lashing the ball into the roof of the net.

While it was not enough to maintain Sweden’s perfect start in League B, Group 4, Graham Potter was happy to take a point.

"I'm very happy with the team's performance, really," Potter told reporters. "I thought we were outstanding considering what we've had to go through and considering where we are and the atmosphere around the match.
