Jesus gathered substitute바카라 웹사이트Martin Odegaard's incisive pass before riding the challenge of바카라 웹사이트Trevoh Chalobah to바카라 웹사이트delicately lift the ball over Henderson.바카라 웹사이트
The Brazilian combined with another one of Mikel Arteta's changes soon after, rifling the ball into the bottom-right corner after being played in behind by바카라 웹사이트Bukayo Saka.바카라 웹사이트

Odegaard in particular was the most effective of those changes, creating more chances (three) than anyone else on the pitch, despite only coming on at half-time.바카라 웹사이트
Saka also played his part with an assist, but the real hero at the Emirates was Jesus, who contributed a team-high expected goals (xG) tally of 1.31 to Arsenal's 2.09 total.바카라 웹사이트
