Mikel Arteta has praised Gabriel Jesus for bringing “belief” and “energy” to Arsenal as the forward shone in victory at Sevilla esports
Jesus continued his love affair with the Champions League with a fine goal and assist double as the Gunners won 2-1 at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium esports
A piece of magic set up compatriot Gabriel Martinelli to open the scoring on the stroke of half-time before Jesus doubled the lead with a fine, curling finish of his own – although he later limped off having moments earlier held his hamstring esports
The Brazil forward may not boast the most prolific strike record but he has now scored an impressive 23 goals in 41 appearances in Europe’s elite club competition esports
Asked if Jesus had been signed from Manchester City because of his prowess in the competition, Arteta replied: “For sure esports
He has been through a lot in the last few years and he’s still really young esports
“He has enormous experiences – some of them not the nicest but very necessary to be the player that he is today esports
I’m really happy to have him in the team esports
“He came here for a reason esports
I think he changed our world esports
He brought so much belief and energy to that team, he needs to step in in those moments esports
He’s done that esports
That’s when a player becomes accountable for the team esports
“Big games are for big players esports
He needed to produce those moments to win in a stadium like this esports
He’s done it for us in a really big way esports
Then, really sad because he felt something in his hamstring and I’m worried about that esports
“We need those players to win games esports
If you want to play Manchester City, then go to Stamford Bridge, then come here – that’s the level we’re at right now esports
To come here and win, big credit to the boys esports
”Jesus’ night ended as he hobbled off to be replaced by Eddie Nketiah in the latter stages – with Arteta admitting he is concerned for the striker esports
“(I am) really sad because he felt something in his hamstring and I’m worried about that,” he added esports
“He straight away asked to be subbed which is not good news because Gabriel is not a player who does that at all esports
We will have to wait and see in the next few days esports
”The victory saw Arsenal recover from defeat in Lens last time out and was enough to take them to the top of Group B at the halfway stage esports
Arteta’s side will be in a good position to reach the knockout stages if they beat Sevilla in the return game at the Emirates Stadium in a fortnight and the Spaniard was pleased with the reaction to defeat in France esports
“That result against Lens put us in a difficult position and the team had to react,” he said esports
“We are coming from the back of very difficult games where the team has to step in and go against adversity as well with some of the injuries that we picked up to big players esports
“The team is so willing to at least try their best even if we don’t manage to be our best all the time esports

Not always in sport do you get a shot at redemption and successfully taking advantage of that opportunity is even rarer esports
England’s pack, and their front row in particular, will have had four years of sleepless nights about that early November evening in 2019 esports
In the 2019 Rugby World Cup final, England were decimated by South Africa’s power up front, as the brilliance of a scintillating semi-final win over New Zealand was quickly replaced by the humiliation of a 32-12 thumping esports
The Springboks, then as now, pride themselves on their physicality and brutality at the breakdown, the set-piece and in open play esports
Yet on a rainy night in Paris four years on, England’s pack fronted up, set the platform in a thrilling World Cup semi-final and earned their redemption arc esports
Yet it still wasn’t enough esports
This time, albeit by one point rather than 20, the result was the same – England’s players slumped on the turf in despair while their opponents revelled in victory esports
The Springbok celebrations were more muted this time, understandably so given there is one more crucial match against the All Blacks standing esports between them and their ultimate goal, but the English heartbreak was the same, even if the journey to get there was vastly different esports
In Yokohama, South Africa won a scarcely believable 11 scrums to England’s three, including six scrum penalties, as the English eight were splintered time and again esports
Dan Cole became the fall guy for that embarrassment – the tighthead prop, supposedly renowned for his scrummaging, forced to play 77 minutes after Kyle Sinckler’s early injury and being obliterated by the combination of Tendai ‘Beast’ Mtawarira and Steven Kitshoff esports
The fact that Cole and Joe Marler, who came off the bench early in the second half that day, were selected by Steve Borthwick to start this revenge game precisely because of their scrum prowess will have surely given them a surge of confidence esports
And the fact they not only survived, but thrived, in the front row this time around will have been sheer vindication esports
Borthwick entrusted the duo to paint an early picture of scrum parity to referee Ben O’Keeffe and they delivered, providing the base that led to multiple first-half penalties from the trusty boot of Owen Farrell esports

As Sinckler and Ellis Genge came on as prop replacements, the Springboks own bomb squad from the bench – led by Ox Nche and Vincent Koch – started to dominate at scrum-time esports
Each engagement started to become eerily reminiscent of 2019 and it was eventually a scrum penalty on halfway that led to Handre Pollard’s decisive, game-winning three-pointer with two minutes to go esports
It felt almost unfair on England’s big men given that the pack, as a whole, had more than held their own in other facets esports
Of the 13 England forwards who played some part in that 2019 final, eight appeared in this last-four clash and stamped their mark all over a first half that was by far England’s best 40 minutes under Borthwick esports
Maro Itoje was a lineout fiend, stealing a Springboks throw-in on halfway and putting doubt in the head of Bongi Mbonambi, whose crooked throw in his own 22 gave Farrell his first penalty goal of the day esports
A new face from four years, George Martin, justified his surprise second-row selection ahead of incumbent Ollie Chessum on just his fourth Test start as he brilliantly marshalled England’s maul defence esports
If Boks lock Eben Etzeesports beth is world rugby’s best maul disruptor, then he may have witnessed first-hand the emergence of a new challenger to that crown esports
Martin caused havoc as England improbably won three consecutive maul turnovers from attacking South African lineouts in the first half to frustrate their much-fancied opponents esports
Pollard ultimately kicked the winning penalty, from a scrum infringement (PA Wire)The celebrations from the likes of Itoje, Jamie George and Ben Earl as those penalties and free-kicks were earned by the pack showed just how important this part of the gameplan was esports
It began putting clear doubt in Springbok minds, as the worried tone from skipper Siya Kolisi when he discussed matter with referee O’Keeffe esports betrayed esports
The English tactic of throwing bodies in to contest every ruck relied on the diesel engines of the forwards and they delivered by dominating collisions and allowing the aerial bombardment strategy that followed to be effective esports
But ultimately, despite a gameplan executed as well as it possibly could have been, the gap in quality esports between the sides proved too much to overcome esports
South Africa adjusted, Pollard came on for Manie Libbok to dictate proceedings with his metronomic boot and English heartbreak ensued esports
There was no shame in a one-point defeat from a semi-final that was much closer than most expected and England’s pack should feel redeemed from the nightmare of 2019 esports
But that won’t make this semi-final hurt any less esports
Perhaps 2027 will give them an opportunity to avenge a new pain esports
