Arsenal on Saturday kept their title hopes alive after defeating relegation battling Leeds United by 4-1 to still maintain their eight points gap on top of the table.
Mikel Arteta’s side had seen their advantage trimmed to five points by second-placed Manchester City’s 4-1 win against Liverpool earlier in the afternoon.
However, when called to duty, Arsenal put up a wonderful display at the Emirate by seeing off Leeds and maintaining their eight points gap.
Jesus was the headline act for Arsenal as he replaced the ill Bukayo Saka in the starting line-up and ensured the in-form England forward wasn’t missed in the slightest.
The Brazilian put Arsenal ahead with a penalty late in the first half, ending a 14-game drought with his sixth goal since joining from title rivals City last year.
Ben White, a former Leeds loanee, doubled Arsenal’s advantage early in the second half.
Making just his second start since surgery on the knee injury he suffered at last year’s World Cup, Jesus struck again with a predatory effort, underlining the importance of his return to fitness as the title race approaches its climax.
