Is Jesus the answer to Arsenal's striker dilemma?

After watching Gabriel Jesus score a Carabao Cup hat-trick against Crystal Palace in midweek, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta said the striker had rediscovered his best form.

Unfortunately for Palace, they hadn't seen the last of the Brazilian frontman this week.

At Selhurst Park on Saturday, Jesus picked up where he left off at Emirates Stadium on Wednesday, scoring two first-half goals – his first in the Premier League this season – in a thumping 5-1 victory over Oliver Glasner's team.

He opened the scoring after just six minutes, firing past goalkeeper Dean Henderson after Bukayo Saka's cross was deflected into his path.
