Arsenal vs Leicester City result score Gabriel Jesus gets two goals two assists in dominant 42 Gunners win
Maybe that preseason was no fluke after all Arsenal continued their perfect start to the new season with a second straight win
42 over Leicester City at a raucous Emirates Stadium which celebrated two goals and two assists by new forward hero Gabriel Jesus
Leicester started strong and did not allow Arsenal to build any momentum
but then Jesus got his team off the mark with a spectacular finish
He followed that up with a header off a corner kick to send his team into the break up 20
Leicester City scored twice in the second half to seemingly make a game of it a William Saliba own goal
and a James Maddison shot that went under Arsenals keeper but the Gunners responded immediately each
time as Granit Xhaka and Gabriel Martinelli found the back of the net both assisted by Jesus
Leicester had a penalty kick just before halftime that was subsequently scratched after video review as the referees
judged that Jamie Vardy sought out the contact with Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale
It was a comprehensive performance by Arsenal who pulled Leicester apart with their trademark interchanging runs and quick combinations
Jesus who had several looks to net a potential hat trick led the attacking moves alongside an electric Gabriel Martinelli
