Viktor Gyokeres' hat-trick moved Sweden a step closer to qualifying for the World Cup as Graham Potter's side beat Ukraine in their semi-final on Thursday. Arsenal star Gyokeres was the hero for his country in a 3-1 victory over Ukraine in Valencia. Sweden will host Poland at the Strawberry Arena in Stockholm on Tuesday, with the winner booking a place at this summer's World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico. 'We as a group dream a lot about a World Cup and so do I,' Gyokeres told Viaplay. Potter's men are now just one win from a place at the World Cup, with Robert Lewandowski's Poland standing in their way after they came from behind to beat Albania 2-1.
