A year and one day after his last competitive Emirates goal, Gabriel Jesus put Mikel Arteta’s words about the Carabao Cup into action. His second-half hat-trick completed a 3-2 quarter-final win over Crystal Palace, just over 12 months after his strike in a 2-0 win over Brighton.

Two meetings with Crystal Palace, in the space of just four days, have revitalised Arsenal’s attack and brought new life to Gabriel Jesus. A week ago, the Brazilian striker was a fringe player with an uncertain future in north London.

Arsenal decision-makers might be tempted to cash in on Gabriel Jesus this winter transfer window. The Brazilian seems to be on a resurgence so could command a decent transfer fee.
