Oleksandr Zinchenko has expressed admiration for Gabriel Jesus following his exceptional performance in Arsenal's 3-2 comeback victory over Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. 
Zinchenko, currently sidelined with a calf injury, shared a heartfelt message on Instagram, writing: “Deserved more than anyone else ❤️ 3x ⚽️,” in celebration of Jesus's hat-trick.
The game, played at the Emirates Stadium, saw Arsenal initially fall behind when Jean-Philippe Mateta scored for Crystal Palace in the fourth minute. However, Gabriel Jesus took center stage in the second half, netting three goals in the 52nd, 74th, and 81st minutes to turn the tide in Arsenal's favor.
Crystal Palace's Eddie Nketiah added a late goal in the 85th minute, creating a tense finale, but Arsenal held on to secure their place in the Carabao Cup semi-finals.
Zinchenko, who has been recovering from a calf injury, is expected to return to training soon, according to Arsenal's medical staff. His absence in recent matches has been felt, but the Ukrainian international remains a vocal supporter of his teammates, as evidenced by his public commendation of Jesus's outstanding display.
Following this victory, Arsenal will now prepare for their upcoming Premier League fixture against Crystal Palace. The Gunners will aim to build on their momentum as they chase silverware on multiple fronts this season.
