“I never knew he’s more tainted like this until he produced a magical moment that helped us win the tough match”- Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus confessed he was left amazed by 25-years old Arsenal star’s magical display against Brighton today
“Absolutely astonishing!” Gabriel Jesus couldn’t hide his admiration for the sensational performance displayed by the 24-year-old Arsenal star, Kai Havertz, in their recent triumph against Brighton at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners secured a convincing 2-0 victory over Brighton, dominating large portions of the game under Mikel Arteta’s strategic guidance. Despite relentless pressing, the breakthrough remained elusive in the first half, with Gabriel Martinelli coming close after remarkable teamwork from Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka on the right flank.
The second half witnessed Arsenal’s persistence bearing fruit, with Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz contributing two well-deserved goals. Gabriel Jesus, securing his third Premier League goal of the campaign, and Havertz, continuing his recent impressive form, drew praises from their teammates and fans alike.
In an interview with BBC Sport, Gabriel Jesus expressed his delight at witnessing Havertz’s outstanding performance in an Arsenal shirt. Reflecting on the match, he emphasized, “It’s not just about the result; it’s about the way we played and controlled them. They have a good team. It was amazing.”
Jesus specifically lauded Kai Havertz, highlighting his strength, height, and overall quality that significantly contributed to Arsenal’s success. “Kai is an amazing player; his strength and tall stature help us a lot. We’re very happy to have him,” he exclaimed.
The Brazilian forward extended his praise beyond Havertz, acknowledging the competitive landscape of the Premier League. “Everyone knows about City’s quality. We have to focus on our game. It’s not only City in the Premier League. Liverpool is playing so well, and Villa is playing amazing. We have to focus on us.”
Kai Havertz, once under scrutiny during the early stages of the campaign for a slow start in North London, has silenced critics with three goals in his last five Premier League games from midfield. Jesus commended Havertz’s resilience, saying, “He is proving many of his doubters wrong at the moment.”
In conclusion, Arsenal’s recent triumph not only highlighted their team’s prowess but also showcased the individual brilliance of players like Kai Havertz, leaving fans and teammates alike in awe of their outstanding performance.
