Arsenal

Mikel Arteta cut a delighted figure in his post-match press conference on Saturday afternoon, following our 4-2 win over Leicester City at Emirates Stadium.

We have to be on top of that and hopefully we are. The rotation can be the same and the way that they can execute it at that speed and be that precise is completely different. I think it’s very natural, but at the same time it’s pretty impressive to do it that quickly, but then we are asking other players to score goals as well. I think it lifts the standards with the way that he’s training every day and the way that he’s talking and the way that they are connecting. I think it really lifted the confidence of Wilo and how he played the last minutes after that and for the team as well. He's so mobile, so intuitive and is always sharp and proactive to play in any moment and any phase of the game and he's a real threat.

Sports Brief had earlier reported that Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus opened his goal-scoring account for Arsenal in the Premier League with a peach of a goal in Arsenal's home game against Leicester City. I’ve never been a defender, but I can imagine I wouldn’t enjoy it. I wouldn’t like to play against him.

Arsenal's opening performance against Crystal Palace was good but showed that there were still things that the team could sharpen up.

7 – Progressive passes for Martin Odegaard, leading all players. Zinchenko has been a nice complement to the skills that Kieren Tierney provides as a full back. His ability to interchange with Granit Xhaka has also been a very nice thing for Arsenal to be able to implement tactically. In this match, Arsenal were able to extend the dominance to 70 minutes and then did well to limit Leicester’s access into dangerous space for the whole match. I think looking forward we are going to think that his fee and impact on this team will be a bargain. Arsenal’s opening performance against Crystal Palace was good but showed that there were still things that the team could sharpen up.

Arsenal want to tie centre-back William Saliba down to a long-term contract at the Emirates after he impressed in their opening day victory over Crystal ...

“He was talked about being that good but then they said no, go away, get some experience. “I don’t know if he needed it [his loan at Marseille], but I think what happened when he went away, it humbled him,” Ferdinand said on his Vibe with Five YouTube channel. He was Young Player of the Season in Ligue 1, last season, and was phenomenal in that sense, comes back and said ‘Nah, I’m not going to right-back, Ben White get to right-back, I’m going to play centre-half.'”

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta may now think twice before deciding which midfielder he goes for this summer.

Meanwhile, it was his midfield teammate that reminded Arteta as to why he could perhaps be the better option to chase. Arsenal's interest in Tielemans has been well documented throughout the summer and so many of their supporters gave him a warm reception when Leicester visited the Emirates Stadium at the weekend. The Gunners have been closely monitoring the Belgian after he entered the last year of his contract, presenting Mikel Arteta and technical director Edu with an opportunity to snap him up in a cut-price deal.

Gabriel Jesus faced the cameras at the end of a record-breaking home debut for Arsenal and declared: 'I am so happy.' A few minutes later, ...

Undeterred, the striker led the counterpress which forced a turnover and then raced towards the box. He raced to win it back, only to give the ball away once more. Jesus became the first Arsenal player to score twice on their home Premier League debut. That was a different time. The Brazilian chased down a long ball, twisting beyond Jonny Evans before finding a team-mate. Perhaps most telling was not how Jesus ended that move but how he started it. By then, he had taken seven shots, the most of any player and more than Leicester's team combined. He's not ideal (the finished article), but he scores goals. Is it too early to wonder whether Jesus could join the likes of Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp in the pantheon of great Arsenal forwards? The rest, he's unbelievable.' He had recorded the most shots on target (three) and the most touches (15) in the opposition box. Gabriel Jesus has transformed Arsenal on and off the pitch ALREADY... is it too early to wonder whether the Brazilian could join the likes of Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp in the pantheon of great Gunners forwards?

Arsenal's new striker Gabriel Jesus scored two and assisted two in the 4-2 win over Leicester to keep up their perfect start to the season.

MF Martin Odegaard, 6 -- Odegaard was one of Arsenal's quieter midfield star as Arteta's side favoured attacking down the left channel, but the Norway international was astute in possession and looked to transition the play progressively. FW Bukayo Saka, 7 -- Saka worked hard at both ends of the pitch, with the England international ensuring that White had some defensive cover. The Brazil international was unplayable on the day, playing a direct involvement in all four goals as he also laid on two assists. MF Granit Xhaka, 7 -- He made a number of instinctive runs and eventually got on the scoresheet after Ward's error. Leicester didn't have an answer for Arteta's press, and that allowed the Gunners to recover possession on a consistent basis. 8 -- Arteta made his intentions clear from kick-off with an attacking setup that Leicester struggled to deal with.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta praised Gabriel Jesus's positive impact on the rest of the squad after the Brazilian starred in his home debut.

"I think he's played 18 starts in the last two seasons and we're gonna demand him to start a lot of games, so we have to manage that load when we can." I think it's very natural, but at the same time, it's pretty impressive to do it that quickly." He's so mobile, so intuitive, always sharp and proactive to play in any moment and phase in the game, and it's a real threat," Arteta said.

I’m more than happy for him because I think it’s very important to score at home.” “We’re more than happy. “I’ve got more freedom to go up and down,” Xhaka explained.

Arsenal and Leicester played out a six-goal thriller at the Emirates Stadium as the Gunners made it two wins from two in the Premier League.

DID YOU KNOW? Jesus is the first Arsenal player to score more than once on his home Premier League debut. He looped a shot over the goalkeeper for his first Premier League goal at Arsenal, then he was perfectly placed to head in his second. ALL EYES ON: Jesus was pivotal in the victory.
