Viktor Gyokeres Left Feeling 'Sour' Despite 3rd Goal in 3 for Sweden
The Arsenal striker became the first player to score in six straight Nations League matches, but a late Bosnia equaliser denied Sweden victory.
Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres set a Nations League record, scoring in his sixth consecutive match as Sweden drew 1-1 with Bosnia at Bilino Polje Stadium in Zenica on Friday.
The 28-year-old forward has now scored in six straight Nations League games, a historic run that surpasses all previous marks in the competition's history.
Gyokeres had a first-half goal disallowed for handball before Bosnia equalized in the 80th minute. "It's sour," the striker added, despite his powerful 61st-minute goal from Alexander Bernhardsson's pass.
Sweden remains atop Group B4, two points clear of Bosnia, and prepares for their final match of the international break against Romania in Bucharest on Monday.
Following the Romania fixture, Gyokeres will return to the Emirates. Arsenal faces Leeds United next Saturday, though Kai Havertz may miss the match after sustaining an injury while playing for Germany last week.
