Arsenal put five past Nürnberg as Gabriel Jesus bags debut double | OneFootball

Gabriel Jesus grabbed two on his debut as Arsenal beat Nürnberg 5-3 in their first pre-season friendly of the summer.

Scorers: Geis 24′, Duah 29′ Schleimer 73′; Jesus 47′ 75′, Elneny 54′, Schindler (OG) 57′, Handwerker (OG) 63′

Mikel Arteta named a tried and trusted side here with the likes of Emile Smith Rowe, Nicolas Pépé and Eddie Nketiah all starting.

But they got off to the worst possible start as Johannes Geis opened the scoring for the German side.

And things got even worse just five minutes later as Kwadwo Duah doubled their lead.

Into the second and Gabriel Jesus needed just 90 seconds to open his account for Arsenal as he blasted one in from close range.

Mohamed Elneny then levelled things up for the north London side on 54 minutes before a Christopher Schindler own goal put the Premier League side ahead.

Nürnberg’s terrible second half got even worse just after the hour mark as Tim Handwerker put into his own net.

The hosts got a third goal against the run of play on 73 minutes but then just minutes later Jesus got his second of the afternoon as Arsenal grabbed five.
