After watching Gabriel Jesus score a hat-trick against Crystal Palace in midweek, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says the striker has rediscovered his best form.
Gabriel Jesus has five goals in his past two games for Arsenal, having scored only five in his previous 45 outings for the clubUnfortunately for Palace, they hadn't seen the last of the Brazilian frontman this week.
Ismaila Sarr levelled for Palace but Jesus restored the Gunners' advantage with a perfectly placed effort into the top corner. After recent questions about whether Arsenal need to sign a more natural goalscorer, could Jesus be the focal point the Gunners are looking for? He registered more attempts - and attempts on target - than any of his team-mates in south London, while his six touches inside the Palace box were surpassed only by Martinelli.
"I know I can score. I just have to put myself in a good position to finish the action, like today. I understand I have to be more in the box to finish the action."Only Gabriel Martinelli managed more touches inside the Palace box than Gabriel Jesus, but the latter was involved in all areas of the pitch
Among Arsenal players, only Martinelli was involved in more duels than Jesus' 13 at Selhurst Park, but the latter won more - six - than any of his colleagues.
