Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus has taken to social media to celebrate his hattrick in their 3-2 League Cup win over Crystal Palace on Wednesday (December 18).

The 27-year-old opened his account just after half-time, canceling out Jean-Philippe Mateta’s fourth-minute opener.

Jesus then gave the home side the lead after Bukayo Saka slipped the striker through before he calmly slotted past Dean Henderson in the Palace goal.

The Brazilian then rounded off his hattrick in the 81st minute before former Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah made it tense in the last few minutes but it was too little too late.

Arsenal fans had previously hit out at the striker, calling him ‘finished’ after his performance in their 1-1 Premier League draw with Fulham earlier in the season.

Jesus has struggled so far this season, starting just eight of his 23 appearances across all competitions, scoring four goals, and providing two assists in 795 minutes of action.

Delighted with his hattrick, Jesus took to Instagram to celebrate sending Mikel Arteta’s side to the League Cup semi-finals, saying: “To God be all the Glory.”
