Gabriel Jesus’ first season at Arsenal has lived up to expectations, whatever happens from here on out. Even after missing several dates due to injury, the Brazilian returned to his best form immediately.

The former Manchester City man has given the Gunners a goal-scoring nose that has been missed for so long in north London, and his goals have also served to fuel the illusion of winning the Premier League after many years. In fact, when Jesus scored, his team never lost.

Gabriel Jesus equals unbeaten match record by scoring

The English league noted that, after the 2-2 draw between Arsenal and West Ham, Jesus has gone 54 games without losing when he converts. He shares the record with James Milner, a veteran Liverpool midfielder who has spent years at Anfield.

The move to the English capital undoubtedly suited Jesus well, since he found the role he did not have with Pep Guardiola at City to meet his best version. Mikel Arteta and Arsenal, meanwhile, celebrate having him at 100% again.
