Whisper it quietly but Arsenal may just have found exactly what they were looking for. A virtuoso display from Gabriel Jesus on his home debut yielded his first two competitive goals for the club and a second victory to begin the season for Mikel Arteta’s side in perfect fashion.
Even Leicester’s late fightback after William Saliba’s own goal and James Maddison had cut the arrears to a single goal could not stop the hosts as Granit Xhaka – courtesy of a howler from the goalkeeper Danny Ward – and Gabriel Martinelli made sure of the points in the second half.
