Declan Rice sends seven-word Instagram message to Gabriel Jesus after his hat-trick in Arsenal’s win over Crystal Palace
Gabriel Jesus was certainly the star of the show during Arsenal’s 3-2 win over Crystal Palace in their EFL Cup quarter-final.
Despite a drab first half, it felt as if Arsenal re𝓡turned the fun to the Emirates Sta🤪dium in the second 45 minutes, a display full of pace, direct passing and good finishing.
Of course, it’s not often you associate prolific goalscoring with Jesus, who has struggled in front of goal🐻 for a l𒁏ong time in north London.
Prior to his superb hat-trick against 🌸Palace, the Brazilian hadn’t scored at home for Arsenal in over a year – the club’s second-choice striker.
Perhaps this confidence boost will now be a turning point for Jesus, who may even keep his starting spot against Palace in the Premie🌼r League on Saturday.

Martin Odegaard was also brilliant for Arsenal, a player Arteta also praised, but it was the manager’s words on Jesus which were pཧarticꦯularly pertinent.
Arteta said: “So pleased for him, it’s been a long period for him without goals and today to score three goals, the three typ♐e of goals he scored tonight as well and many actions he was involved, he looked really sharp.
“I think it’s a great thing for him, great thing for the team that we c🌳an rely on a player with such a quality, same with Kieran, same with all the players who haven’t started many games and had the chance to do so.”
Then asked if Jesus can be a game-changer for the rest of this seas🎀on, Arteta continued: “Yeah well he brings something, he has that quality, he has a way of creating, generating situations that is quite unique, Gabby at that level obviously is a big asset
