Arsenal new signing, Gabriel Jesus scored 90 seconds in, and his two goals on Friday helped the Gunners defeat FC Nurnberg 5-3 in a comeback victory.
Jesus, who completed a £45 million transfer from Manchester City earlier in this summer’s transfer window, entered the game at halftime with the Gunners behind 2-0 and scored high in the goal off a ball from Ainsley Maitland-Niles.
Mohammed Elneny of Egypt scored a miraculous goal to tie the score at 2-2 after that, and two own goals by Tim Handwerker and Christpher Schindler of Nurnberg gave the Gunners a 4-2 lead.
