Arsenal fans lose it over Gabriel Jesus’ ‘Zidane touch’ before scoring goal

New signing Gabriel Jesus has sent Arsenal fans into meltdown with his 'Zinedine Zidane touch' against Everton, before he smashed the ball into the net.

The Brazilian was stationed at the back post as Cedric Soares whipped in a corner during the pre-season clash. And Jesus took the ball down will touch before he blasted the ball past the Everton defence.

Mikel Arteta's side ran out 2-0 winners as Jesus was joined on the score sheet by Bukayo Saka – who struck just before the hour mark. But it was Jesus who got Arsenal fans talking on social media after the clash.

After the game, Arteta said: “He creates chaos, he creates uncertainty and he’s always on your shoulder.

"He’s always there to nick the ball off you, he’s always in front of the goal. He’s a real threat and this is what we need.

“The moment we give the ball away he is straight away active and putting pressure and getting his team behind him. He has a lot of leadership skills, I can see straight away what he’s doing with the boys and he’s the type of guy that we want."
