There were scenes of jubilation as Gabriel Jesus scored right at the death to secure three points for Arsenal against Manchester United, and this has now created a problem for Mikel Arteta.
Arsenal were not at their best for some parts of the game but dug deep to score twice late on to beat their historic rivals 3-1, and there were a number of standout performers.
Whilst Declan Rice deservedly earned the Player of the Match award, Eddie Nketiah led the line superbly before being substituted in the second half, and whilst he did not score, he played an important role both in and out of the box.
Gabriel Jesus replaced him in the second half, and he showed his true class in an excellent cameo appearance, with his dribbling and movement helping Arsenal attack with more fluidity.
Why Pele Is Overrated.
When he found himself put through on goal by Fabio Vieira, Jesus showed his world-class ability and composure as he performed a fantastic dummy to humiliate Diogo Dalot, before curling the ball into the bottom corner.
With Jesus clearly fit again after missing the first few games with injury, and Nketiah in arguably the best form of his Arsenal career, Arteta now faces a dilemma. With both strikers preferring a central role, he will have to decide which one to start after the international break.

Who should start against Everton?
Nketiah is currently loving life right now, having started all but one Premier League game so far, and has earned himself his first England call-up for the upcoming international break.
It would be harsh to drop him now, but with Jesus back to fitness, and looking sharp, one of the two forwards will now face disappointment by dropping to the bench.
Given the difficulties Arsenal have faced at Goodison Park in recent years, with their last win at Everton coming in 2017, Arteta may be inclined to start Jesus, with the Brazilian’s ability to hold the ball up and carry the team forward proving crucial in away games.
It will be a physical battle against Sean Dyche’s side, and there is justification in starting either striker, and they are two of the most in-form players in the Arsenal squad right now.
