Gabriel Jesus played a pivotal role in securing a crucial 2-1 Champions League victory for Arsenal over Sevilla on Tuesday, redeeming their shocking defeat to Lens earlier in October.
The Brazilian striker orchestrated Gabriel Martinelli’s opening goal with a brilliant turn and pass. He then extended the Gunners’ lead with a deadly finish, propelling Mikel Arteta’s team to the top of Group B.
Arsenal now sits at six points, one ahead of Lens, who drew 1-1 against PSV Eindhoven at home, with both teams level on two points, just like Sevilla.
Diego Alonso’s team put up a spirited performance in his second match in charge, following their impressive and intense showing in a draw against La Liga leaders Real Madrid on Saturday. However, Arsenal demonstrated more cutting edge in attack, and Jesus’s quality made the difference in an entertaining clash in Andalusia, as he has now scored in all of his team’s matches in the competition.
Sevilla, known for their seven Europa League triumphs, had banners celebrating their achievements before kick-off. In their defense, they had a four-time Champions League winner in Sergio Ramos, who, at 37 years old, commanded the defense effectively as they held off Arteta’s side for much of the first half. The first half featured notable chances at both ends, with Martinelli testing the Sevilla goalkeeper Orjan Nyland and the hosts mounting several attacks.
Sevilla started the second half on the front foot, and Martin Odegaard had a chance for Arsenal, which he put over the bar. But it was Gabriel Jesus who stole the spotlight as he dribbled into the box from the left flank and brilliantly unleashed a shot into the far top corner, out of Nyland’s reach.
Sevilla managed to pull one back just before the hour mark when Nemanja Gudelj headed in from Ivan Rakitic’s corner, beating the motionless Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya. Raya later made a spectacular save to tip Mariano Diaz’s effort onto the crossbar, although it would have been disallowed for a foul if it had gone in.
Sevilla, known for their home victories over Manchester United and Juventus last season in the Europa League, continued to press in the final stages. However, Arsenal held on for the win, marking a positive turn of events in their Champions League campaign.
