Alan Shearer names Premier League signing as a 'game-changer' and it's hard to argue

Alan Shearer has called Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus a 'game-changer' following Sunday's 3-0 victory over Brentford.

"His move was seen as his opportunity to be the main man after often being on the bench at City and he has certainly taken it so far.

"Jesus is already a huge part of what Arsenal are about now – it’s not just his goals and creativity that make him so important to them, it’s his relentless energy and willingness to run in behind defences too.

"He’s the game-changer for Arsenal. He’s the one who sets the tone from the front. Defenders hate players who are prepared to run in behind, he does that.

"He’s the one who starts the press. You see his movement and his ability too.

"He could have had two or three goals actually. He’s made a huge difference to that team."

Arsenal took the lead inside 17 minutes through a William Saliba header, which caught the Brentford backline out and went in off the post.

Jesus scored a header of his own 11 minutes later to double the lead.

Arsenal famously lost this fixture 2-0 last season and this result shows there is a lot more about them this term.

The previous record was held by Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott, who made his top-flight debut for Fulham aged 16 years and 30 days old.
