Mikel Arteta reveals what his players did to Gabriel Jesus after scoring twice against Leeds United

Gabriel Jesus had a warm reception as he entered the Arsenal locker room after scoring twice in Saturday's 4-1 victory against Leeds.

The Brazilian scored twice as the Gunners rapidly regained their eight-point lead at the top of the standings after Manchester City's victory over Liverpool earlier in the day after Mikel Arteta gave him his first Premier League goal since November.

Jesus, who has worked hard to recover from the knee injury he sustained while representing Brazil in the World Cup, had a wonderful day.

Jesus' teammates were eager to applaud the 25-year-old after the game, Arteta said in his post-match news conference.

“Delighted for him," the Arsenal boss said after the game. 

“They all were. We were all clapping for him. He’s been working so hard for the last four or five months with a lot of support from the team and the staff. Today he deserved the chance to start. He grabbed the opportunity with a lot of conviction and with two goals.”
