Sweden suffered a shocking 1-0 defeat to Kosovo, with Fisnik Asllani scoring the only goal, further diminishing their World Cup qualification chances.
Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres, who started alongside Liverpool's Alexander Isak, was unable to influence the game and continues his scoring rut for Sweden, having not scored for his country in almost a year.
Gyokeres' average start to the season at Arsenal, with three Premier League goals in seven appearances, has not translated to his international performances, where he has struggled to find his clinical touch.
Gyokeres has high standards for himself, so the striker will know more than anyone that the goals just aren’t flowing right now.
