Sevilla 1-2 Arsenal: Gabriel Jesus stars as Gunners pick up Champions League win at Sevilla
[ad_1]
Gabriel Jesus stole the show as his superb goal and assist fired Arsenal to a 2-1 win at Sevilla to put the Gunners in control of Champions League Group B.
The Brazilian striker’s stunning turn and assist sent Gabriel Martinelli on his way to a debut Champions League goal on the stroke of half-time, before Jesus bettered it himself after the break with a superb curling finish to put Arsenal 2-0 up.
Arsenal’s deficit was halved when Nemanja Gudelj headed home from a corner on the hour mark and despite some heavy Sevilla pressure in an electric Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium, some impressive saves from the much-maligned David Raya – including one in the dying moments of the game – maintained the Gunners’ lead until full-time.
The Gunners’ win plus Lens’ draw with PSV Eindhoven means they are four points clear of third-place in the group and they will qualify for the knockout stages if they beat Sevilla in their next game on November 8, and Lens beat PSV on the same night.
