Arsenal star Gabriel Jesus has been 🐬named in WhoScored’s Champions League Team of the Week after his performa♉nce against Sevilla on Tuesday.

Jesus was the only Arsenal player in a side that included the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Harr𝐆y Maguire.

It’s not been the easiest start to his second season at the club for Gabriel Jesus.

An injury picked up on the eve of the season starting🥃 coꦜuld have derailed his campaign immediately.

However, Eddie Nketiah dꦬeputised well in his place and he returned to action against Fulham.

However, before Tuesday night’s outing, Jesus only had three g𝓀oals to his name.

He had scored i꧂n both previous Champions League outings and scored ꧟a very late goal against Manchester United.

Jesus showed his real quality against Sevilla and it’s no surprise the Arsenal star wa🎶s then named in WhoScored’s Team of the Week.

The 26-year-old dropped deep to link up play perfectly at times with Gabriel Martinelli the recipient of a phenome✨nal through ball in the first half.

His goal to double Arsenal’s lꦦead showed that he’s still an elite finisher but Mikel Arteta will be desper🌌ate for him to do that more often now.

The Brazilian star as one of two centre-forwards a🐲longside Porto Medhi Taremi after all 32 teams had been in💧 action in midweek.

He took four shots, won two aerial duels and t💜wo tackles and completed 2꧋2 of his 24 passes.

Jesus earned plenty of praise after the match, with Sevilla star Sergio Ramos singling out the Brazilian from the Arsenal team.

Even the great Thierry Henry praised t🐠he number nine and it’s up to Jesus to carry that form into the Pꦜremier League.

On paper, Sheffield United is the perfe🌜ct🌳 team for him to maintain this level as they’re still without a win and look porous at the back.

However, the Premier League is rarely as straightforward as that and he’ll need to be at his best to add to his one domes🌠tic goal this season.
