Thomas Partey, Gabriel Jesus – Arsenal injury news and return dates following Sevilla clash
Arsenal returned to winning ways on Tuesday night as they secured a 2-1 victory over La Liga side Sevilla in the third matchday of the UEFA Champions League group stage. Gabriel Martinelli broke the deadlock on the brink of half-time, providing a composed finish after some excellent link-up play from Gabriel Jesus on the counter-attack.
Jesus then doubled his side's lead after the break, curling in a sublime finish from an improbable angle on the left. But Sevilla fought back, with Nemanja Gudelj heading it past David Raya from a corner.
