Mikel Arteta has praised Gabriel Jesus for bringing “belief” and “energy” to Arsenal as the forward shone in victory at Sevilla esports
Jesus continued his love affair with the Champions League with a fine goal and assist double as the Gunners won 2-1 at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium esports
A piece of magic set up compatriot Gabriel Martinelli to open the scoring on the stroke of half-time before Jesus doubled the lead with a fine, curling finish of his own – although he later limped off having moments earlier held his hamstring esports
The Brazil forward may not boast the most prolific strike record but he has now scored an impressive 23 goals in 41 appearances in Europe’s elite club competition esports
Asked if Jesus had been signed from Manchester City because of his prowess in the competition, Arteta replied: “For sure esports
He has been through a lot in the last few years and he’s still really young esports
“He has enormous experiences – some of them not the nicest but very necessary to be the player that he is today esports
I’m really happy to have him in the team esports
“He came here for a reason esports
I think he changed our world esports
He brought so much belief and energy to that team, he needs to step in in those moments esports
He’s done that esports
That’s when a player becomes accountable for the team esports
“Big games are for big players esports
He needed to produce those moments to win in a stadium like this esports
He’s done it for us in a really big way esports
Then, really sad because he felt something in his hamstring and I’m worried about that esports
“We need those players to win games esports
If you want to play Manchester City, then go to Stamford Bridge, then come here – that’s the level we’re at right now esports
To come here and win, big credit to the boys esports
”Jesus’ night ended as he hobbled off to be replaced by Eddie Nketiah in the latter stages – with Arteta admitting he is concerned for the striker esports
“(I am) really sad because he felt something in his hamstring and I’m worried about that,” he added esports
“He straight away asked to be subbed which is not good news because Gabriel is not a player who does that at all esports
We will have to wait and see in the next few days esports
”The victory saw Arsenal recover from defeat in Lens last time out and was enough to take them to the top of Group B at the halfway stage esports
Arteta’s side will be in a good position to reach the knockout stages if they beat Sevilla in the return game at the Emirates Stadium in a fortnight and the Spaniard was pleased with the reaction to defeat in France esports
“That result against Lens put us in a difficult position and the team had to react,” he said esports
“We are coming from the back of very difficult games where the team has to step in and go against adversity as well with some of the injuries that we picked up to big players esports
“The team is so willing to at least try their best even if we don’t manage to be our best all the time esports

Up into the stands the England players clambered to find their families, taking the consolatory hugs but unsure quite how to feel esports
Across 80 minutes in Paris, their belief had been replaced by disbelief and then by desperation and dejection, England threatening the unthinkable and taking the world champions to the brink esports
For most of a sodden Stade de France evening, a Rugby World Cup final was within their grasp esports
A South Africa side superior in most areas were dragged down into the sort of slugfest the Springboks would usually favour, and very nearly bested at their own game esports
England had given their all but it was still not enough, one stable scrum, one Handre Pollard slip or slice, short of stunning the world champions esports
The emotional maelstrom of this defeat will swirl rather differently to the feelings that eddied after the 2019 World Cup final disaster esports
“I’m proud of our performance,” were virtually the first words out of the mouth of wing Elliot Daly esports
“I think we shocked them esports
I don’t think they knew how to get into the game esports
”“I think we knew what was coming and we knew we could perform like this,” added Daly, virtually unused in open play but outstanding as a kick chaser to exemplify the squad’s buy-in to a strategy that so nearly proved successful esports
The finer points of Steve Borthwick’s tactical plan had been put in place this week but this was a performance England had been building towards since long ago esports
A flawed side did not come to France to thrill; winning by any means necessary had been a consistent theme esports
If necessity is oft the mother of invention, England at this tournament have also proved the pair can be enemies esports
This was a campaign at which they seemed to intentionally limit their attacking innovation or ingenuity– recognising a need to figure themselves out on the fly, they settled on an effective and eminently executable gameplan that could be implemented quickly esports
Steve Borthwick consoles Ellis Genge and Freddie Steward after England’s defeat (Getty Images)It came so close to working in Saturday’s semi-final; their effort, accuracy and competitiveness in the key contests were spot on esports
At the 65-minute mark, England outside backs had a combined 17 metres carried, all from one Freddie Steward kick return esports
The two number 13s’ offensive output on the final whistle amounted to one late Joe Marchant lug; South Africa centre Jesse Kriel went the full 80 minutes without an attacking touch esports
“We came with a plan to win the game but we fell a little bit short,” reflected Borthwick esports
“But the players should be incredibly proud esports
We put ourselves in a position to win against the world champions esports
England dominated the aerial contest to threaten a semi-final shock (Getty Images)“We were playing against a coaching team who have been in place since 2018 esports
We’ve had four months esports
I’ve asked the players to approach training and the game in a different way; for the players to be willing to change is all credit to them esports
”This was a night from which the head coach will take heart, a public perhaps struggling to warm to this England team are now recognising the progress made esports
There will be a need to layer on much, much more to consistently mix it with the world’s best but the rapidly laid foundations look rock solid esports
In time, perhaps the ugly duckling performances will turn into white swans esports
There appear to be many more buds of a bright future than first appeared in a barren landscape pre-tournament esports
Ben Earl has had a breakthrough tournament, and Ollie Chessum, too, while George Martin semi-final performance marks him out as the potential enforcer England have lacked esports
Borthwick was keen to talk up the absent Marcus Smith the day after the defeat, with the playmaker’s reinvention as a frolicking full-back of intrigue moving forward esports
"In our 23, seven players are 25 or under, the most of any semi-finalist, there’s a great blend and there will be lots of things we can take forward,” added Borthwick esports
Young England lock George Martin impressed against South Africa (Getty Images)But the fact that the men’s national team were on the brink of back-to-back finals should not provide a façade over the crumbling edifice of a fragile English game esports
There is a domestic mess that needs sorting, with a Gallagher Premiership containing three teams fewer than at the start of last season, now underway to little fanfare and on the brink of significant change esports
The renegotiation of the Professional Game Partnership is a recognition of a need for a radical overhaul in pursuit of a more financially sustainable domestic game, and one that produces a wider pool of top-class talent esports
The likely arrival of a form of central contracts underlines a period of epochal change esports
The senior figures in the squad who are unlikely to play beyond this tournament – Courtney Lawes, Ben Youngs, Dan Cole and perhaps a couple more – could well be the last England men’s internationals never to have been contracted to the union esports
This has a great many benefits, not least in affording Borthwick, or any head coach that might follow him, far greater access to and control over his players esports
And while Borthwick’s articulation of the advantages enjoyed by South Africa’s settled staff is a perfectly fair one, let us remember that the Rugby esports Football Union (RFU) put their head coach in this situation esports
The original planning for this tournament would most likely have seen Borthwick return to England camp to aid Eddie Jones at the World Cup before a smooth transition into the lead role afterwards esports
Jones’s sacking sparked a scramble and several months of chaos esports
It was not shown up on semi-final weekend but there are many reasons that the RFU still has a burden to bear esports
But the full wash-up will wait for another week – England’s performance at the Stade de France has earned them seven more days of grace esports
The tournament will end as it began for England with a meeting with Argentina in a third-place play-off that Borthwick insists he wants to win esports
England, captained by Owen Farrell, narrowly missed out on a place in the World Cup final (Getty Images)“I read a piece yesterday morning that talked about adversity and talked about the fact that in adversity you find that seed of belief and you’ve got to grow it,” Borthwick said esports
“This team has been through a bit in the last few years, a bit of adversity in the medium-term past esports
“I think through each of those periods the team has picked up lessons, picked up what we need to do and grown from it esports
I think there’s a lot of growth in this team esports
Sometimes it’s not the straight-forward path you want it to be esports
In the feelings and emotions of the game last night, I know that we’ll get stronger esports
