Premier League 2022-23: Gabriel Jesus Stars As Arsenal Paint North London Derby Red – In Pics

Gabriel Jesus marked his first north London derby with a goal as Arsenal beat 10-man Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 on Saturday to strengthen its grip on first place in the Premier League 2022-23. Jesus took advantage of a defensive blunder to make it 2-1 early in the second half and Tottenham’s chances of a comeback were then ruined by Emerson Royal earning a straight red card for a needless studs-up challenge on Gabriel Martinelli in the 62nd minute. Granit Xhaka quickly capitalized on the man-advantage by adding the third goal five minutes later as Arsenal built a four-point gap to Spurs and Manchester City atop the table. Tottenham would have climbed above Arsenal into first with a win. It was Jesus’ fifth league goal since joining from Manchester City in the offseason.
