Summary

Joining Ian Stone for a look back on Arsenal 4 Leicester 2 it's Art de Roche and Adrian "buzzkill" Clarke.

Today it's all about Gabriel Jesus and what he has immediately brought to the Arsenal set up. We discuss why he has been able to have such an immediate impact in his new team, the various player roles he's performing and the influence he has on the younger players too now that he's part of the senior leadership team. Expect stats, tactics, and joy in part one.

But it's not all about that Brazilian Gabi, as his attacking compatriot Gabriel Martinelli was on fire too and we discuss his development under Arteta and how the more fluid structure has allowed him to shine.

It was the first home game of the season and boy did the fans come out to play, especially the Ashburton Army as Adrian admires their stamina for songs throughout the day.

Plus we check in on our loans, our Academy and hail Saka for his Kopa Trophy nomination
