After his two-goal blast on his first appearance last week in Germany, Gabriel Jesus was back at it in our friendly win over Everton in Baltimore.
The Brazilian was in the starting line up this time, and opened the scoring with an unerring finish at the far post, before laying on the second for Bukayo Saka moments later.
Afterwards Mikel Arteta said he was delighted with the impact his new signing has made so far.
“He creates chaos, he creates uncertainty and he’s always on your shoulder,” the boss said.
“He’s always there to nick the ball off you, he’s always in front of the goal.
He’s a real threat and this is what we need. And then he’s the one. The moment we give the ball away he is straight away active and putting pressure and getting his team behind him.
“He has a lot of leadership skills, I can see straight away what he’s doing with the boys and he’s the type of guy that we want.”
