And he’s overtaken a Premier League legend in the process.

Jesus, 26, is in stunning form for Arsenal following a move from Man City last summer.

The hitman has scored 10 goals under Mikel Arteta.

His latest effort came in last night’s 3-1 thrashing of London rivals Chelsea.

And in doing so, Jesus set a new record for players who have never lost a Premier League game they’ve scored in.

The Samba star has netted in 55 top-flight matches across his Man City and Arsenal careers.

Incredibly, Jesus has gone on to win 44 of those matches.

The 11 others have been draws, and Jesus has now leapfrogged Liverpool star James Milner into top spot.

The Premier League legend has 43 wins and 11 draws from his 54 matches — not bad for a midfielder.

Milner is miles ahead of the next player in the list, former Aston Villa and England striker Darius Vassell.

He ended his career on 46 games unbeaten, which is 10 more than current Liverpool forward Diogo Jota.

The likes of Chelsea duo Salomon Kalou and Pedro are also on the list.

Meanwhile, Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli and ex-Man Utd star Antonio Valencia also make the top 10.

But it’s going to take some doing for a player to end up topping Jesus’ 55-game record.
