Arsenal summer sale hits 5 g/a in 7 games

If things had gone well for Gabriel Jesus at Barcelona prior to the international break, they’ve gone even better since club football has returned. The former Arsenal striker kicked things off with a goal against Getafe last weekend, intercepting the ball in the penalty area and beating his man before firing into the corner.

Jesus then provided a rather fortunate assist against Galatasaray in the Champions League, as his attempted control bounced over the defender’s head and perfectly into the path of goalscorer Karim Adeyemi.

That brings us to this weekend, with Jesus receiving his second consecutive start for a match away to Real Betis. Once again, the ex-Arsenal striker made the chance count, guiding home a volley at the near post for Barcelona’s third goal of the game.
