Gabriel Jesus got his first Premier League goals as an Arsenal player as the Gunners maintained their 100% start to the Premier League with a win over Leicester City.

The Brazilian could have easily gotten a hat trick as he also missed a host of chances but walked away with a brace in the 4-2 win on Saturday, August 13.

Arsenal went 2-0 up in the first half, but Leicester nearly threatened a comeback thanks to a Willian Saliba own goal in the 53rd minute.
