What a blistering home Premier League debut for Arsenal hitman Gabriel Jesus.

The former Manchester City hitman is proving himself unstoppable for the Gunners, who lead Leicester City 2-0 at half time.

And both goals have come from Jesus, a £45 million signing by Arsenal this summer.

First, the Brazil international curled home a wonderful opener, before heading home from close range to seal a brilliant home debut at the moment.

However, Ian Wright, the Gunners legend, was left raving about another new signing this summer:

Jesus could and very probably should have completed his hat-trick by now, having spurned a couple of gilt-edged goal opportunities after already scoring the brace.

But you can’t be overly harsh on the player, who’s been a revelation during this first 45 minutes overall.

Leicester could’ve halved the deficit just before half time after referee Darren England awarded a penalty to the Foxes, before later overturning the decision.

It’s been a perfect half for Arsenal across every metric so far.
