Arsenal returned to the top of the Premier League after beating Brentford 3-0 at the Community Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The Gunners, led by Spanish manager Mikel Arteta, were in fine form and ran out deserving winners.

Speaking after the game about his goal, which came from a well-placed cross from Granit Xhaka, the in-form Jesus could not hide the connection he shares with the Switerzland international.

“He [Xhaka] jokes sometimes, he wants to improve his assists and then he gives me a lot of balls,” the former Manchester City forward said.

“I am so happy to play with him. He is intelligent and a quality player.

“All the time he is trying to find me, today he found me, a great ball and a great cross and I could head it into the net. So I am happy.”
