Arsenal faced off with Southampton in a game they were expected to win on Sunday.

However, when all was said and done on the south coast, Arsenal were forced to settle for a share of the points.

The Gunners dominated from the start and took the lead after 11 minutes via Granit Xhaka.

Arsenal then had several more big chances throughout the game, most of which fell to Gabriel Jesus, who missed.

Now, Jesus has opened up on his recent struggles in front of goal.

Asked why he struggled in front of goal against Southampton, Jesus said: “I don’t know, I really don’t know. If I know I can tell you!

Jesus added: “Sometimes you drop a little bit, but you have to realise and wake up,” he said. “That’s what we have to do.

“We have to concentrate more, focus more, be more aggressive with the ball, without the ball.

“I think everyone has the same games. We are trying to do our best to win the games, to win them as much as possible before the World Cup.

“We have to turn our minds and come back playing our game. Of course up front me, B (Bukayo Saka), Gabi [Martinelli] and everyone try to put the ball in the net.

“Now is the time, you know everyone is going to talk about us, about our performance, I just want to say to the team to be calm.

“This league is tough, it’s difficult. Everyone is upset. Now is a difficult time I think, the difficult time is coming. Everyone has to be alert and then focus more.

“We have six games before we stop for the World Cup, so we need to come back stronger because that’s football.

“We are young and I am still young as well. So we have to be more focused sometimes. We created a lot today but we were not finishing good.

“I put me in that of course, because I had some chances today. I could have scored one or two – and then we win the game.

“It’s hard, it’s difficult, it hurts, but we have to realise and wake up and improve and come back.”
