Gabriel Jesus has insisted he is not thinking about the World Cup as he accepted his share of the blame for Arsenal ’s winning streak stopping at Southampton.
But the Brazil striker vowed that he will quickly refind his scoring boots and he urged Gunners fans to stay “calm”. The £45m summer signing scored five goals in eight games after his arrival at the Emirates but has now gone five games without a goal.
The former Manchester City star missed three big chances at St Mary’s as the Saints fought from behind to salvage a draw. Mikel Arteta’s team remain two points clear of City at the top of the table with three games left before the World Cup break - and six games in all.
