Arsenal regained an eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League as Gabriel Jesus scored his first goals since October to seal a <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/sport/football/2023/04/01/gabriel-jesus-brace-powers-arsenals-title-charge/" target="_blank">4-1 win over Leeds</a> on Saturday. Mikel Arteta's side had seen their advantage reduced to five points by second-placed Manchester City following their <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/sport/football/2023/04/01/man-city-overcome-haaland-absence-to-thrash-liverpool/" target="_blank">4-1 win against Liverpool</a> earlier in the day. However, Jesus starred for the Gunners as he replaced the ill Bukayo Saka in the starting line-up and ensured the in-form England forward wasn't missed. The Brazilian put Arsenal ahead with a penalty late in the first half, ending a 14-game drought with his sixth goal since joining from title rivals City last year. Arteta's squad is being stretched by injuries and illness, but Jesus being back is a massive boost. "Delighted for him. They all were. We were all clapping for him," Arteta said. "He's been working so hard for the last four or five months with a lot of support from the team and the staff. Today he deserved the chance to start. "He grabbed the opportunity with a lot of conviction and with two goals." Player ratings for the match can be seen in the picture gallery above.
