GABRIEL JESUS is adamant Arsenal were ‘so much better’ than Manchester United despite defeat – and they need to quickly shake off the frustration.
The Premier League leaders came into Sunday’s game at Old Trafford on a run of five straight victories and dominated large parts.
But United defended resolutely and caught the Gunners on the break to run out 3-1 winners.
Jesus said: “We are not happy because, in my opinion, we should win because we played so much better.
“The feeling is frustration because we controlled the game. We were better than them and then we just concede.
“We came to play against a strong opponent and it’s always hard, it’s the Premier League.

“That’s football, they have quality as well and then if you don’t go there and kill, you are going to have a big problem – and that’s what happened.”
Striker Jesus has hit three league goals for Arsenal since his switch from Manchester City, helping the Gunners to the top of the table.
Despite Sunday’s setback, that is where they stay, by a point from champions City.
Now Jesus, 25, says it is time for Mikel Arteta’s young side to regroup and go again.

“We have to stick together and improve as a team and don’t think about this one.
“This one is gone. We have to learn and then do better next time.
“We are playing so well, so good, but no one is perfect.
