Gabriel Jesus was involved in what many are referring to as the season’s most peculiar booking during Arsenal’s recent victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Gunners’ relatively simple 2-0 victory in the match, which took place on Saturday afternoon at the Emirates Stadium, gave them a good start to their most recent Premier League title campaign.
Choosing to start up front rather than Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz gave Arsenal the early lead. Later in the game, Bukayo Saka added another goal. Declan Rice was replaced in the 85th minute by Jesus, who had started the game on the bench. The Brazilian forward did not, however, take long to become noticeable on the field—at least not in the manner that many had anticipated.
Jesus got into an odd situation with Yerson Mosquera of Wolverhampton not long after he came on. TV cameras saw Mosquera appear to grab Jesus by the buttocks during a brief pause in play, which prompted an instant response from the Arsenal forward. To the surprise of both supporters and pundits, Jesus retaliated angrily and was given a yellow card. Since then, the odd booking has become a topic of conversation, with many calling it the most unusual warning issued this season.
