Arsenal legend praise Gabriel Jesus as he name him best skillful striker in Premier League as he recount his encounter with defenders... - VIDEO

Premier League legend Alan Shearer has heaped praise onto Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus for becoming the club’s game-changer since he joined.

Shearer has certainly been impressed, describing Jesus as a game-changer in his column on BBC Sport, and praising him for his work rate and pressing as well as his goal threat and general quality in attack.

“Jesus is already a huge part of what Arsenal are about now – it’s not just his goals and creativity that make him so important to them, it’s his relentless energy and willingness to run in behind defences too,” Shearer said.

“He’s the game-changer for Arsenal. He’s the one who sets the tone from the front. Defenders hate players who are prepared to run in behind, he does that.

“He’s the one who starts the press. You see his movement and his ability too. He could have had two or three goals actually. He’s made a huge difference to that team.”

On what could have been a tricky Sunday afternoon for Arsenal it is now one that confirms we are still genuine title contenders thanks to a nice 3-1 win over Man Utd.

It was not all plain sailing and the scoreline may flatter the Gunners a little but on balance, the best team won.

Martin Odegaard knocked in Arsenal’s first goal, Declan Rice had looked to have scored the winner but it was Gabriel Jesus who put the cherry on the cake with a nicely taken third.
