On Tuesday night at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pijuan, the Gunners secured a 2-1 victory over Sevilla. Arteta was finally able to field his preferred attacking trio of Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli, and Bukayo Saka, and they did not disappoint, taking control of the game.
Jesus displayed his brilliance, contributing to the attack by scoring and earning the man of the match award. Gabriel Martinelli also found the back of the net, while Bukayo Saka excelled on his preferred right-wing position. This season, Arsenal’s offensive prowess hasn’t been as formidable as it was in the 2-1 win against Sevilla.
During the BBC Radio 5 Live Football Daily Podcast, former Aston Villa striker Dion Dublin expressed his admiration for Arsenal’s attacking trio. He noted, “Gabriel Jesus does more than just score goals; he holds up the ball and works tirelessly. Saka is a known talent, and Martinelli brings goal-scoring ability and speed. They offer a versatile and challenging threat for defenders, and if Mikel Arteta can utilize these three players regularly, they will rack up plenty of goals.”
Although Jesus suffered an injury in the victory against Sevilla, it is hoped that it’s not a severe one, and he’ll return to the field soon, allowing Arteta to deploy his strongest attacking lineup as frequently as possible.
