Gabriel Jesus joined Arsenal as a lead character, but has been reduced to a supporting role in their title challenge this season.
Gabriel Jesus won the penalty for Arsenal but watched from the touchline as his replacement scored. The Brazilian joined the Gunners as a lead character, but has been reduced to a supporting role in their title challenge.
After Bart Verbruggen turned a very decent effort of his round the post from the edge of the box, Jesus got a header all wrong from a delightfully dinked Havertz cross, then powered another wide in the second half when he again should have done better. They were moments to strengthen claims that he’s not as telling a contributor as the other options available to Mikel Arteta.
Few forwards are exempt from that rudimentary assessment, and Jesus is never going to enjoy immunity like Roberto Firmino, partly because we know he has it in him after consecutive seasons of 20+ goals for Manchester City, where he averaged a goal or an assist every 102 minutes, but also because of a goals minus expected goals score of -1.6 this season – the worst of any Arsenal player except Emile Smith Rowe .
