“100% pass accuracy, 100% dribbles completed. I just can’t stop clapping for him after the masterclass display from him yesterday”- Arsenal icon Thierry Henry can’t stop applauding £48M Arsenal star following a wonderful performance against Brighton that made Arsenal play their best game of the season so far

Arsenal’s standout performer, Gabriel Jesus, has once again dazzled the football world with his exceptional skills, contributing significantly to the Gunners’ recent 2-0 triumph over Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League. Thierry Henry, an iconic figure in Arsenal’s history, couldn’t contain his admiration, expressing applause for the £48 million star who played a pivotal role in what is being hailed as Arsenal’s best performance of the season.

During Sunday’s match, the Brazilian international showcased his brilliance in front of goal, breaking the deadlock with a well-executed play. Positioned perfectly at the far post, Jesus capitalized on a Bukayo Saka corner, capitalizing on Jan Paul van Hecke’s header to net a goal with a free header.

Beyond his goal-scoring prowess, the 26-year-old demonstrated excellence in his overall attacking play. With an impressive 49 touches and a flawless pass accuracy of 100% (36/36), Jesus displayed a remarkable command of the game. His ability to navigate defenses was evident as he achieved a 100% success rate in his dribbles and contributed two key passes to his teammates.

Amid discussions about Arsenal’s striking department this season, Jesus has proven himself as a valuable asset with a goal contribution every 109 minutes. Since returning from a hamstring injury, the £45 million signing has amassed five goal involvements in various competitions, highlighting his impact on the team.

The Gunners, buoyed by their convincing victory over Brighton, have reclaimed the top spot in the league standings after Liverpool’s draw with Manchester United. Looking ahead, Arsenal faces a significant challenge as they prepare to visit Anfield next Saturday, a venue where they haven’t secured a league victory since September 2012. Despite a close call last season, where they surrendered a 2-0 lead, Mikel Arteta’s squad approaches the encounter with confidence, given their dominant performance over the weekend.

The upcoming clash against Liverpool will serve as a litmus test for Arsenal’s title aspirations, with a six-day break preceding the challenging trip to Merseyside. In contrast, Liverpool will be engaged in Carabao Cup action against West Ham United on Wednesday, setting the stage for a captivating showdown between two football powerhouses.
