And a brace at once! Jesús has broken his goal-less streak in Premier League, which lasted since 30 January
Arsenal faced Crystal Palace in a lively Premier League encounter as part of matchweek 17.
Gabriel Jesus opened the scoring for the Gunners in the 6th minute, marking the start of an eventful match. While Ismaïla Sarr quickly leveled for the Eagles, Jesus struck again shortly after, restoring Arsenal’s lead. These goals were monumental for the Brazilian striker, who had been enduring a challenging period in his career.
Details: Jesus scored his first Premier League goal since January 30 against Nottingham Forest, breaking a 23-game league drought. This match also marked the first time he scored 2+ goals in a Premier League game since April 2023.
Remarkably, Jesus has now scored more Premier League goals in 14 minutes against Crystal Palace than in his previous 28 league appearances combined.
Reminder: Just days ago, Jesus netted a hat-trick against Crystal Palace in Arsenal’s 3-2 League Cup win. The Brazilian appears to have rediscovered his scoring form at the perfect time for the Gunners.
