On a scorching afternoon in North London, Gabriel Jesus sizzled with a performance which left Arsenal fans salivating about the season ahead.
The Brazilian scored twice — one a delicious, curling effort that, yes, got the slightest of deflections off Jonny Evans but would probably have beaten Leicester keeper Danny Ward anyway and the other a proper fox-in-the-box header at the back post.
But it wasn’t just his finishing which delighted the Arsenal faithful, it was the way he caused Leicester’s languid backline problems throughout and brought others into play, setting up Granit Xhaka and Gabriel Martinelli for their goals as well.
