Gabriel Jesus was overjoyed after scoring twice in a crushing 4-2 victory over Leicester City to commemorate his home Arsenal debut.
The summer acquisition from Manchester City had an outstanding preseason and received praise for a standout performance in last weekend’s 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace.
But Jesus was overjoyed to score this afternoon with a beautiful curling drive before doubling Arsenal’s advantage with a predatory header at the far post.
The Brazilian international didn’t stop there; he also assisted goals by Granit Xhaka and Gabriel Jesus that prevented a Leicester comeback.
‘I am so happy because we played so good against a tough opponent,’ said the £45million summer recruit.
‘I work all day every day to score goals.
In the meantime, Mikel Arteta praised Gabi’s performance, saying: “We know what Gabi can accomplish.”
‘He is disappointed in that dressing room because he said he could have scored four. I would not like to play against him. So mobile, so intuitive, always sharp.’
