Benjamin Nygren is Celtic weapon of choice to gun down title rivals as fellow Swede makes Gyokeres comparison

Sweden boss Graham Potter has shared a wild behind the scenes photo of his celebrations after masterminding their qualification to this summer's FIFA World Cup. Potter‚ who had seen his reputation dented by ill-fated spells at Chelsea and West Ham‚ was appointed Sweden boss in October with their World Cup hopes in disarray. The 50-year-old took over with Sweden bottom of their qualifying group with two matches remaining.

Graham Potter's side were in ecstasy when they beat Poland on Tuesday night‚ courtesy of Viktor Gyokeres' 88th-minute winner. The scenes after were heartwarming - and Potter was chuffed. 'We weren't perfect‚ but who cares?' he said. 'We're going to the World Cup‚ baby. Wow.' That's one way to describe it. In qualifying‚ Sweden picked up two points from their six games - four defeats and two draws - and finished rock bottom of their group and North America seemed a mile away.

Gary Lineker has pinpointed a key area where Viktor Gyokeres needs to improve to boost his goal return for Arsenal amid his struggles this season. Gyokeres scored a staggering 97 goals in 102 appearances for Sporting Lisbon in a two-year spell at the Portuguese club‚ figures which convinced Arsenal to sign him for £64m in the summer. The Swedish forward has been unable to achieve a similar return in the Premier League‚ scoring just five times in 15 appearances for the Gunners.
