Saka started the early blitz from the penalty spot after being pushed over by Karim Rekik, with Jesus then firing in from close range after combining with Granit Xhaka down the left-hand flank.
The red-hot Jesus then netted his second goal in 60 seconds, sliding in at the back post after being picked out by electric compatriot Gabriel Martinelli.
As impressive Arsenal defeated Sevilla 6-0 to win the Emirates Cup and raise anticipation and excitement for the upcoming Premier League season, Gabriel Jesus scored a hat-trick in his home debut.
The £45 million summer acquisition from Manchester City, the Gunners’ new No. 9, increased his remarkable preseason goal total in red and white to seven with yet another great performance in front of the home crowd in north London.
In a completely one-sided first half in north London, devastating Arsenal destroyed their overconfident Spanish opponents, with Bukayo Saka and Jesus both scoring goals in the space of only nine minutes.
Yassine Bounou, the current LaLiga goalkeeper of the year, made a mistake that allowed Saka’s shot to pass right through him as Sevilla was left shell-shocked. Things only got worse from there as a result of Arsenal’s persistent pace, energy, and heavy pressing.
After Gabriel’s attempt was blocked off the line, Jesus went on to score his third goal late in the game to give Arsenal a 4-0 halftime lead.
Substitute Two minutes from the end, Eddie Nketiah crashed into an open net after Martinelli had selflessly set him up.
