Gabriel Jesus enjoyed a stellar Saturday afternoon, netting a brace during Arsenal 's 4-1 victory over Leeds United.
That win restored the Gunners' eight-point cushion at the top of the Premier League table after Manchester City had closed the gap to five points earlier in the day by beating Liverpool 4-1. Jesus broke the deadlock at the Emirates Stadium, converting a penalty just before half-time and the Brazilian international doubled his tally after the break with a close-range finish.
However, he revealed that Mikel Arteta's decision to take him off in the 60th minute was a frustrating one, although he also admitted that he understood his coach's decision. Speaking to the club's media, the 25-year-old said: “I love challenges. Obviously with an injury and when there’s surgery involved, it’s not easy but if God gives me this challenge, it’s because I can survive and come back stronger.
