Jesus was the standout player, earning the Man of the Match award as he helped secure Arsenal's second win over the Eagles in just a few days. This victory marked a significant moment for the Gunners as they finished 2024 unbeaten in London derbies.

Just days prior, Jesus had netted a hat-trick against the same opponent in the Carabao Cup, showing his ability to find the back of the net after over nine months of drought.

It was the Gabriel Jesus show for Arsenal at Selhurst Park.

Mikel Arteta has praised Jesus for his performance, noting that it reflects his unique skill set and versatility on the pitch.

The manager emphasised the importance of consistency from the striker moving forward, suggesting that if Jesus can maintain this level of play, it could alleviate some pressure on other attackers and potentially shift Arsenal's focus in the transfer market.

Arsenal ended 2024 unbeaten in London derbies.

But regardless of their concerns, Arsenal fans will be watching closely to see if Jesus can build on this momentum and continue to silence critics while hoping the Gunners can address their concerns about squad depth in attack heading into the winter transfer window.
