"With a number of key men rested, and usual captain Martin Odegaard injured, Gabriel Jesus was given the armband but failed to impress for the Gunners. In the first-half, he barely had a touch, but seemed to lose the ball whenever it came his way. In the second half, it was more of the same, as he even missed a huge chance to score, with his effort cleared off the line when perhaps he could have done better."
"Despite coming up against League One defenders, Jesus finished the game with one big chance missed, which was his only shot on target out of three efforts. He also managed just 12 accurate passes, out of 17 attempts. What's more, he was Arsenal's lowest-rated player, with a 6.1 SofaScore rating, having lost the ball 11 times, while having three unsuccessful touches."
Arsenal progressed past Mansfield Town 2-1 in the FA Cup fifth round. Noni Madueke opened scoring with a curled finish, but Mansfield equalized through Will Evans after an Arsenal defensive error. Eberechi Eze's thunderous strike secured Arsenal's victory. Gabriel Jesus, captaining the side with several key players rested, struggled significantly throughout the match. He recorded minimal touches in the first half, missed a clear scoring opportunity with a shot cleared off the line, and finished with just one shot on target from three attempts. His passing accuracy was poor at 12 accurate passes from 17 attempts, and he lost possession 11 times, earning Arsenal's lowest player rating of 6.1.
