Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus has returned to top form, scoring five goals across consecutive matches against Crystal Palace. The Brazilian striker shone in both fixtures, helping the Gunners secure key victories.
In the Carabao Cup quarterfinals, Jesus delivered a hat-trick to propel Arsenal to a 3-2 win. Just days later, he added a brace in a commanding 5-1 Premier League victory over the same opponent on Saturday. These performances mark a significant turnaround for Jesus, who had been linked with a potential departure from the Emirates Stadium in future transfer windows.
His resurgence could solidify his role under manager Mikel Arteta, who may now view the striker as a crucial asset in Arsenal’s push for success. Speaking about his performances, Jesus said, “It is great to be back in the team, playing more. Arsenal is a massive club, and I understand the pressure of being the number nine here. When I play with a smile on my face, everything is different.”
As Arsenal aims to stay in contention for the Premier League title against top teams like Liverpool and Chelsea, Jesus’s form could play a pivotal role. The Gunners’ next challenge is a Boxing Day clash with Ipswich Town.
