Gabriel Jesus is already the king

Rain of goals and emotions at the Emirates Stadium, which has a new king. Gabriel Jesús scored two goals, served two assists and led an Arsenal that has started the Premier League full of optimism. Neither Saliba’s own goal nor Maddison’s insistence managed to turn the match around, which ended with a great goal from Martinelli.

But Arteta’s team soon found the goal. Little more than 20 minutes of the game had passed, in which Arsenal had wisely pressured Leicester, when Gabriel Jesús picked up a ball inside the area, froze time and crossed a threaded shot that was as academic as it was unexpected for Ward. It was 1-0 and with him the game’s thunder box opened, which before the break saw the second of Gabriel Jesús arrive, in a service to the area with extension and header of the Brazilian, always lurking at the far post. Something irrepressible for the Foxes, very little inspired in attack.

yesOnly Saliba’s header, who scored his own with a poorly calculated header, managed to wake up Leicester, although Arsenal responded promptly and did not take long to recover from 2-1. Enough to hang another ball into the area, which Ward failed at the start and Gabriel Jesús (yes, him again) gave Xhaka the goal.

The party seemed seen for sentence but then Maddison appeared, the liveliest of Leicester, to make it 3-2 with the collaboration of Ramsdale, to whom the ball passed unmercifully under his feet. Of course, the joy did not last long for the team of the midlandswho a minute later suffered the Martinelli’s left foot from outside the area and settled for 4-2, with more than 15 minutes to go.
