Mikel Arteta’s team defeated Leicester City!
The striking In a thrilling match at Emirates Stadium,
Mikel Arteta‘s team defeated Leicester City thanks in large part to goals from Gabriel Jesus,
who scored his first Premier League goals for Arsenal.
The Brazilian striker, who was brought in from Manchester City in the summer,
assisted on his team’s other goals and scored twice before halftime but also had multiple chances to score a hat-trick.
Early in the second half, William Saliba‘s own goal gave Leicester optimism,
but Granit Xhaka’s strike two minutes later restored Arsenal’s two-goal advantage.
James Maddison once more cut the deficit,

but Gabriel Martinelli promptly made it 4-2 to keep the Gunners’ perfect record.
Before halftime, Leicester goalkeeper Danny Ward denied Jesus twice after he had scored. With 10 minutes left in the game, Jesus, 25,
also missed the side netting from close range.
Jesus is clearly enjoying being the centre of Arteta’s ambitions in north London,
Jesus enjoys being the top pick.
despite the fact that he never really played second fiddle at City,
when he scored 58 goals in the Premier League.
On his home debut,
he displayed a variety of his skills. He produced a beautiful chip to start the scoring before displaying more predatory instincts to latch onto Vardy’s defensive header and nod past Ward for his second.
Before the teams had gone back to their locker rooms for a break on this scorching hot day in the capital,
Jesus was denied by Ward’s boot on his next opportunity and then stayed on his feet when he could have easily won a penalty under pressure from Jonny Evans,
only to roll his shot just wide of the post.
Jesus will be disappointed that his close-range shot into the side of the goal prevented him from scoring his second Premier League hat-trick,
which would have set up goals for Xhaka and Martinelli.
Leicester has to be strengthened.
In the week running up to this game, Leicester made its lone acquisition of the summer,
but the free transfer of third-choice goalkeeper Alex Smithies will not have thrilled Foxes supporters.
The indications at Emirates Stadium were that Brendan Rodgers’ team needs to be strengthened immediately,
especially in light of the rumours that Chelsea and Newcastle are interested in both Wesley Fofana and James Maddison.
After an hour, Youri Tielemans was replaced,
and some Arsenal supporters mockingly chanted, “We’ll see you next week,” as he left.
However, the starting lineup,
which has not changed from the draw with Brentford six days earlier, shows that this is merely about Leicester’s first-choice pick; if so,
they will need to improve if they want to avoid having a difficult season.
The Foxes gained more bite after Kelechi Iheanacho was added,
and because to his hard effort,
Maddison had the opportunity to assess Ramsdale before blasting through his legs to give his team renewed hope.
But a few seconds later, the 2015–16 winners fell behind again,
this time by two goals, and there was no turning back.
The most recent activities of Wesley Fofana have become the subject of speculation among Leicester City fans.
The defender, who has drawn interest from Chelsea twice this month,
approached the Leicester supporters on his own following their team’s loss to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
Following last week’s opening-day tie with Brentford,
he first started to walk straight back down the tunnel,
but manager Brendan Rodgers halted him in his tracks. Fofana and the City supporters had a brief dialogue before Fofana headed over to them.
While his teammates were still shaking hands with the opponent,
