Arsenal stroll as Gabriel Jesus 10/10 leads win over Leicester (ESPN)

Arsenal's new striker Gabriel Jesus scored two and assisted two in the 4-2 win over Leicester to keep up their perfect start to the season.

MF Martin Odegaard, 6 -- Odegaard was one of Arsenal's quieter midfield star as Arteta's side favoured attacking down the left channel, but the Norway international was astute in possession and looked to transition the play progressively. FW Bukayo Saka, 7 -- Saka worked hard at both ends of the pitch, with the England international ensuring that White had some defensive cover. The Brazil international was unplayable on the day, playing a direct involvement in all four goals as he also laid on two assists. MF Granit Xhaka, 7 -- He made a number of instinctive runs and eventually got on the scoresheet after Ward's error. Leicester didn't have an answer for Arteta's press, and that allowed the Gunners to recover possession on a consistent basis. 8 -- Arteta made his intentions clear from kick-off with an attacking setup that Leicester struggled to deal with.

Leicester struggled to get much joy there, with most of their attacks coming down the left. Ben White: Solid enough down the right-hand side. The 31-year-old has been a stalwart of Pep Guardiola's squad and become a key senior figure, especially after the departure of Fernandinho. Arsenal missed out on the signing of Yves Bissouma who Tottenham were able to snap up early in the window for an initial £25million fee. Now, with Edu pictured flying to Valencia, the home of the Yellow Submarine, it has heightened excitement over the transfer. Mikel Arteta and Edu want to finish the summer strongly and complete the plan they constructed earlier this year.

Arteta - I wouldn't like to play against Jesus | Press conference | News (Arsenal.com)

Mikel Arteta cut a delighted figure in his post-match press conference on Saturday afternoon, following our 4-2 win over Leicester City at Emirates Stadium.

We have to be on top of that and hopefully we are. The rotation can be the same and the way that they can execute it at that speed and be that precise is completely different. I think it’s very natural, but at the same time it’s pretty impressive to do it that quickly, but then we are asking other players to score goals as well. I think it lifts the standards with the way that he’s training every day and the way that he’s talking and the way that they are connecting. I think it really lifted the confidence of Wilo and how he played the last minutes after that and for the team as well. He's so mobile, so intuitive and is always sharp and proactive to play in any moment and any phase of the game and he's a real threat.
