Gabriel Jesus had a magical start to his Arsenal career as he netted a brace in the Gunners' 5-3 win over Nurnberg on Friday evening.
The north Londoners officially unveiled the Brazilian international as their fourth signing of the summer earlier in the week - following deals for fellow countryman Marquinhos, Portugal Under-21 star Fabio Vieira and American goalkeeper Matt Turner.
His debut in Arsenal colours couldn't have went better as he scored twice against Nurnberg.

Arteta would've been pleased to see how well he linked up with Eddie Nketiah to find the net for his first goal too. Coming off a neat bit of play on the right, Jesus directed a pass towards Nketiah in the penalty area. The Englishman then laid the ball off for Jesus to score at the near post.
His second goal came after a lovely through ball from Gabriel Martinelli. Jesus darted across his man before flicking home from close range.
In addition to his two goals, Jesus showed that he was capable of adding some flair to Arsenal's attack. Minutes after he scored the Gunners' first, he cleverly flicked the ball past a Nurnberg defender and continued to dribble it into the box. Although it didn't end in a goal, it was a sign of intent from Arsenal's new No.9.
Jesus will now be hoping to continue his momentum into the new season. Arsenal face Crystal Palace on the Premier League's opening day in August.
