Gabriel Jesus continues Arsenal players' North London Derby tradition in front of Thierry Henry

Gabriel Jesus marked his first taste of a North London Derby with a goal for Arsenal against Tottenham Hotspur and there was something rather familiar about his celebration.

The 25-year-old is no stranger to derbies having played in many Manchester City vs Manchester United games as well as Brazil vs Argentina on the international stage and he was excited about adding another to his list: "I've played a few derbies before and I can feel what it means to play a derby game," he said in an interview with Arsenal.com.

"Of course, I've never played here before! The north London derby will be my first and I want to win, like every game. I understand it's a derby – it's a game different from most – but at the same point, it's a game. It's a game we have to focus on and do our job. Because we are playing at home, we have to think about just doing our game. It's our home."
