Mikel Arteta said Gabriel Jesus is “back at his best” after the Brazilian’s brilliant second-half hat-trick fired Arsenal into the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup.

Arsenal were trailing inside just four minutes against Crystal Palace after Jean-Philippe Mateta opened the scoring at the Emirates before Jesus came to his side’s rescue with a breathtaking 27-minute treble in a 3-2 victory.
