In a game that was a big chance for Gabriel Jesus to get his season up and running, he seriously impressed.

The Brazilian opened the scoring with a well-taken half-volley before showcasing his flair with some tricky footwork throughout the game. He also picked up an assist when he set up Nwaneri's goal in the first half - although the teenager did much of their heavy lifting there!

Jesus has endured a tough start to the season, but he made the most of the opportunity he was given on Wednesday and must have impressed Mikel Arteta with a standout performance. He looked to have regained some confidence that he was missing for a long time.
