‘When I play with a smile on my face’ – Gabriel Jesus reveals secret behind stunning Arsenal form after scoring FIVE goals against Crystal Palace in one week
Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus has rediscovered his form, scoring five goals across back-to-back matches against Crystal Palace.
The Gunners faced Crystal Palace twice in one week—first in the Carabao Cup quarterfinals and then in the Premier League. Jesus delivered a stellar performance, netting a hat-trick in Arsenal’s 3-2 cup victory and adding a brace in their dominant 5-1 league win on Saturday.
Previously tipped to leave Arsenal in upcoming transfer windows, Jesus’s impressive resurgence may have solidified his place at the Emirates Stadium. His revitalized performances could give manager Mikel Arteta reason to keep faith in the Brazilian striker.
Speaking about his return to form, Jesus shared: “It is great to be back in the team, playing more. Arsenal is a massive club, and I understand the pressure of being the number nine here. When I play with a smile on my face, everything is different.”
As Arsenal intensifies their bid to re-enter the Premier League title race against top teams like Liverpool and Chelsea, Jesus’s contributions could prove pivotal. The Gunners’ next match is against Ipswich Town on Boxing Day.
