Arsenal boss Arteta: Everyone so happy for exceptional Gabriel Jesus

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was delighted with Gabriel Jesus' double for victory over Leeds.

The striker netted twice to help Arsenal beat Leeds 4-1 at Emirates Stadium and record seven straight league wins under the Spaniard's management for the first time.

“Looking at the reaction of the team in the dressing room, everybody is so pleased for him," Mikel said. “He's worked so hard in the last four to five months to get back to the level that we all remember, but it's not an easy thing to do. He had a lot of support from the staff to do that.

"Today we gave him the chance to start the game and he was exceptional.

“We need goals from different players, we need different kinds of goals and today I think we were exceptional in both boxes and that's what, in my opinion, made a difference in the game."
