‘Perfect, exactly what they were looking for' - National media react as Arsenal defeat Leicester

What a contrast Arsenal find themselves in compared to the beginning of last season. At this stage, the Gunners had conceded four and scored none with a 5-0 drubbing from Manchester City on the horizon. Fast-forward a year and it looks like the Gunners have been resurrected from their crushing Champions League qualification failure from last season.

Much in part due to the contributions of Gabriel Jesus. Having failed to score or assist against Crystal Palace, the new Arsenal striker needed to get himself on the scoresheet to stave off the inevitable questions that would come after two goalless games, especially with Erling Haaland and Darwin Nunez both scoring on the opening weekend.

However, he did far more than that and was involved in all four goals the Gunners put past Leicester to rightly earn themselves all three points. Yet there were moments of concern that quick responses were able to mask but they have not gone unnoticed.
