What happened. Viktor Gyökeres played the entire Carabao Cup game against Ipswich Town but failed to score, with his display drawing criticism. Questions are now being asked whether he could lose his place as Arsenal's second-choice striker.

• Gyökeres has yet to score this season and had only around 100 minutes before Tuesday.
• Kai Havertz is Arsenal's clear first choice, with three goals this season.
• Arsenal scored four goals from 12 shots, only one of them Gyökeres'.

Gyökeres' next chances will decide whether he keeps his spot in Arsenal's striking order.
