Arsenal produced a fantastic performance against Leeds United and won 4-0.
The Gunners went ahead through Martin Zubimendi in the first half. Karl Darlow’s own goal doubled that lead, and the visitors went in at the break 2-0 up.
In the second half, Viktor Gyokeres scored a lovely goal, and the man who replaced him, Gabriel Jesus, also found the net.
The Brazilian has been earning praise for his strike.

Max Dowman and Declan Rice hail Gabriel Jesus after his cameo in Arsenal’s win vs Leeds
Jesus getting minutes at Arsenal is a big surprise to many.
At the start of the season, many felt that the Brazilian’s Gunners career was over, but he has fought his way back into the side.
Gyokeres was preferred against Leeds on Saturday, but Mikel Arteta brought Jesus on in the second half after his side were 3-0 up.
The former Manchester City man could’ve just come on and seen the game out, but he had a massive impact.
After receiving the ball from Martin Odegaard, Jesus pulled off an incredible bit of skill before finding the back of the net.
It really was a fantastic strike from the Arsenal number nine, and his teammates are impressed.
Reacting to his Instagram post, Declan Rice said: “Too sharp!”
Max Dowman, who is a very skilful player himself, commented: “Joke!”

Nobody is talking about what Gabriel Jesus has done at Arsenal
Jesus is not Arsenal’s first-choice striker, nor do we expect him to be.
The Brazilian is rightfully behind Gyokeres in the pecking order, even though he got the nod to start against Manchester United.
Jesus was really poor in that game, but nobody has been talking about his output recently.
The 28-year-old has started two of Arsenal’s last four games in all competitions and has scored three goals – two in the Champions League and one in the Premier League. That is a brilliant return.
Jesus definitely has a big role to play from now until the end of the season, and his goals could contribute to Arsenal winning the lot in May.
