Arsenal Secures Victory Over Wolves, but Gabriel Jesus’ Bizarre Booking Steals the Show
Arsenal kicked off their latest title charge with a 2-0 win over Wolves, but the match will be remembered for Gabriel Jesus’ unusual booking. The Brazilian striker was shown a yellow card after reacting to a bizarre incident involving Wolves defender Yerson Mosquera.
The Gunners dominated the game, with Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz scoring in the second half. However, the real talking point came when Jesus was substituted on in the 85th minute. Moments later, he was involved in a altercation with Mosquera, which led to his booking.
