Gabriel Jesus was not a fan of the attention he received from Yerson Mosquera. It was a strange and uncomfortable moment during Arsenal's victory over Wolves on Saturday. Despite the odd encounter, the Gunners were able to secure a 2-0 win with goals from Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka, giving them a solid start to the season at the Emirates.
Jesus was not in the starting lineup, but came on as a substitute late in the game. In the 88th minute, he was caught off guard when Mosquera reached over and grabbed his backside while he was bent over putting his boot back on. Understandably, Jesus reacted by jumping up and pushing the Colombian defender away.
To his surprise, Jesus was shown a yellow card for his reaction, while Mosquera escaped without punishment. The Brazilian striker protested to the referee, Jarred Gillet, but his pleas fell on deaf ears. It was a bizarre move from Mosquera, and Jesus was rightfully upset by it.
Despite the strange incident, it was overall a good day for Arsenal. They also avoided a scare when midfielder Declan Rice had to be substituted late in the game due to cramping. Fortunately, it was nothing serious and manager Mikel Arteta confirmed that Rice will be fine.
Next week, the Gunners will face a tougher challenge as they travel to face Aston Villa. The Villains had an impressive season opener, defeating West Ham away from home. It will be a true test for Arteta's side, but they are ready to take on the challenge.
