Mikel Arteta has come to the defence of striker Gabriel Jesus as Arsenal's top scorer runs the risk of picking up a suspension in this weekend's north London derby.
The Brazilian frontman has scored four goals since arriving from Manchester City, helping the Gunners climb to the top of the Premier League table after seven matches. He has also earned four bookings, though, and another against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday would rule him out of the important Premier League game at home to Liverpool on October 9.
Arteta suggested his team had been unlucky with some of the cards shown to the 25-year-old. However, he maintained it is in Jesus' nature to play the way he does.
