‘I’m very happy for him’ – Arteta is delighted with the performance of Arsenal star vs Villa

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was full of praise for Gabriel Jesus after the Brazilian forward delivered an encouraging performance in the Gunners’ emphatic 4–1 victory over Aston Villa on Tuesday night at the Emirates Stadium.

The result was a significant one for Arsenal, not only because it kept them top of the Premier League table, but also because it represented a measure of revenge against Unai Emery’s side.

Villa had beaten Arsenal earlier in December at Villa Park, and this return fixture demanded a response.
