Arsenal distanced itself even further atop the Premier League<\/a> table on Tuesday with a dominant 4-1 victory at home against Aston Villa on Tuesday. Forward Gabriel Jesus was responsible for scoring the Gunners’ fourth goal and produced a celebration for the ages.<\/p>\n

Jesus slotted home an impressive shot from the top of the 18-yard box to send the crowd in North London into a frenzy in the 78th minute. The goal was Jesus’ first in nearly a full year, as he only recently returned to the squad after dealing with an injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While the goal was impressive, it was Jesus’ celebration that garnered plenty of attention as well.<\/p>\n

While running to the corner flag, Jesus immediately ripped off his jersey to reveal a t-shirt that read \u2018I Belong To Jesus.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jesus’ \u2018I Belong\u2019 shirt was a tip of the cap to fellow Brazilian Kak\u00e1, who famously revealed the same shirt after leading AC Milan in the Champions League Final in 2007.<\/p>\n

While still wearing the t-shirt during his post–<\/a>match press conference, Jesus explained why he decided to wear the shirt while sharing more about his Christian faith.<\/p>\n

“Jesus saved my life from the beginning, when I was born, I didn\u2019t know it yet. Through the tough moments in my life, I realized we are nothing without Jesus, so I want to glorify his name,” the 28-year-old explained.<\/p>\n

With the win over Aston Villa, Arsenal have a five-point lead on second-place Manchester City in the Premier League table. The Gunners have not won the league since the 2003-04 campaign, also called the perfect season, a year they did not lose a single game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Quite the scene in North London.
