Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has slammed Gabriel Jesus for his poor finishing in the Gunners' defeat to West Ham.

Arsenal missed the opportunity to go top of the Premier League, losing 2-0 to West Ham at the Emirates Stadium thanks to goals from Tomas Soucek and Konstantinos Mavropanos. 

Mikel Arteta's team registered an impressive 77 touches in the opposition box, setting a new record for the most in a single Premier League match for a team that failed to score.

“You knew Arsenal were going to get chances. Sometimes it hits the post, there is a leg on the line or it is not finishing well. 

“Gabriel Jesus could have scored two or three. He didn’t. But you have to give credit to West Ham. Not conceding at the Emirates is something amazing,” Henry told Amazon Prime.

 Jesus has been disappointing this season, scoring just three goals across 14 league appearances.
