Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta cautioned that Jesus must work hard to regain his spot in the starting lineup as the Gunners fight for the Premier League championship. Leandro Trossard was exceptional as the central striker, registering three assists before being replaced by Jesus for the last 13 minutes of the game.
Arteta praised Jesus’ return, saying that it is a significant boost for the team, but emphasized that he must earn his place like every other player. Arsenal has several alternatives who can play in various positions, and the team has different goals to fill in terms of player chemistry and what they are expected to do. Arteta praised the versatility that the team has as a result of having players with different strengths and abilities.
