Jesus helps Gunners beat Sevilla 2-1
It’s all Gabriel Jesus’ affairs on Tuesday champions league night game as he scored a fantastic goal and provided an assist to help Arsenal tame Sevilla.
Jesus set up compatriot Gabriel Martinelli to open the scoring on the stroke of half-time before doubling the lead with a fine, curling finish of his own to the admiration of many.
With the goal, he has now scored an impressive 23 goals in 41 appearances in Europe’s elite club competition.
A sparkling effort header from Nemanja Gudelj header reduced the arrears on the hour but Arsenal held to their ground and ensure the result moved them to the top of group.
Ironically, Jesus wouldn’t later have the chance to savour a memorable performance as he later limped off the pitch due to an injury and was replaced by Eddie Nketiah with 10 minutes left on the clock.
Now that the first round of the Champions League group stage had come to an end, teams will enter the final phase of the group stage when action gets back in a fortnight time.
