Brazilian footballing icon Ronaldinho has hailed his countryman Gabriel Jesus as one of the best players in the Premier League following the strike against Manchester United.

'When Gabriel joined Manchester City I said he would go on to be one of the best players in the world. When he was given a chance, he showed what he was capable of - but at Manchester City he was never shown the love a player of his quality deserves.

'At Arsenal he has been given the chance to be the focal point, he has been shown the love by the coach and the fans, and already he is repaying that.' He added.

Clearly never one to shy away from a prediction, Ronaldinho further claimed that he believes that Jesus can stake his claim as one of the top players in Europe as part of Arteta's Arsenal: 

'This season I expect big things from him - he will repay the love shown in him by showing he is not just one of the best players in the Premier League but also in Europe.'

Declan Rice and Gabriel Jesus scored in injury time as Arsenal beat Manchester United in a thrilling game.

Alejandro Garnacho thought he had won it in the 88th minute, but his goal was ruled out for a narrow offside. Minutes later, in the 97th minute, Rice collected a Bukayo Saka corner to beat Andre Onana at his near post.

As United pushed for an equaliser, Jesus ran through on the counter to settle the game.

Marcus Rashford gave United the lead against the run of play in the 27th minute, lashing home a shot after a counter-attack, but their joy did not last long though as Martin Odegaard fired Arsenal's equaliser less than a minute later.

Arsenal were awarded a penalty midway through the second period when Kai Havertz went down in the area but referee Anthony Taylor change his mind after checking a monitor.

Mikel Arteta's side have 10 points from four games with United on six after already losing twice.
