GABRIEL JESUS made his Arsenal debut with a stunning double, giving enthused Gunners fans a tantalizing preview of what's to come.
The £45 million striker's immediate impact also suggests that he might be one of the signings of the late spring, even though it was only a preseason victory over opposition from the German second tier.
Immediately after replacing Nicolas Pepe as a halftime substitute, the Brazilian international scored with his very first touch while wearing an Arsenal shirt.
Director Mikel Arteta also found it difficult to hide his delight in the player who had just completed his transfer from Manchester City four days before.
Jesus, 25, broke through the defense and exchanged passes with Eddie Nketiah before defeating Nuremberg defender Christian Mathenia inside the box with a precise right foot strike.
After twelve minutes, he became engaged once more as he prevented Christopher Schindler from deflecting Gabriel Martinelli's cross into his own net.
Furthermore, Jesus displayed all of his ruthless abilities when he eluded the static Nuremberg defence to score his second goal when Martinelli slipped a cunning 75th-minute pass into the box.
Therefore, despite the fact that he still has a lot to learn about his new friends, he appears to have found instant chemistry with Martinelli and Nketiah.
Additionally, that must be encouraging news for Arteta as he works to assemble a team capable of competing in the Premier League's top four the next season.
Jesus' callous dedication energized a crucial second-half comeback for an Arsenal team that trailed 2-0 at the break.
Before Tim Handwerker's own goal secured a notable rebound against the Germans, Mo Elneny scored a 30-yard rocket.
Additionally, manager Matt Turner and teenager Marquinhos made their debuts, and Kieran Tierney made his most noteworthy outing since suffering a knee injury in March.
Additionally, things are already looking good for Arteta with the return of Aaron Ramsdale, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Ben White, Martin Odegaard, Granit Xhaka, Bukayo Saka, Fabio Vieira, Rob Holding, and William Saliba to the crew for the upcoming week's journey across the USA.
