Watch Gabriel Jesus turn into ‘one-man freight train’ in build-up to Arsenal goal as fans all say the same thing
ARSENAL fans were left mesmerised by Gabriel Jesus after his mazy run led to Martin Odegaard’s opening goal against Bournemouth.
It took the Gunners just five minutes to break the deadlock at the Vitality Stadium.
And it all stemmed from a brilliantly intricate run from the club’s new forward Jesus.
Off the back of a brace against Leicester last weekend, the Brazilian picked up the ball midway inside the Bournemouth half and drove at the defence.
He slipped past three Cherries shirts before sliding a delicious reverse pass into fellow countryman Gabriel Martinelli.
His shot was saved by keeper Mark Travers but Odegaard gobbled up the rebound to give the visitors a deserved lead.

Seven minutes after that wonderful run, Jesus was again involved as Mikel Arteta’s men doubled their advantage.
The former Manchester City man was picked out in the box and as he shaped to shoot Odegaard took it off his boot to fire Arsenal into a comfortable lead.
