UCL: Postman always rings twice, and Gabriel Jesus shines twice as Arsenal top Sevilla

Arsenal get a vital 2-1 away win in Spain against Sevilla on Tuesday night to move top of the Champions League Group B.

The Gunners triumphed, led by super-inspired Gabriel Jesus, as he superbly set up Gabriel Martinelli for the opener before curling in a fantastic goal to make it 2-0.

Five minutes later, though, Sevilla's defender Gudelj pulled one back, but Mikel Arteta's side held firm to take control of Group B.

On a heated October night at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium, the Gunners were hoping some of their big players would step up, and that's exactly what Jesus did with his sensational display.

Jesus' assist for the opener was a jaw-dropping piece of football skill - he brought the ball down and then spun to beat two players with a single touch before linking up with Martinelli thanks to a perfect through-ball.

The second one, the one he scored, will probably be remembered for years due to its beauty and style.

The Gunners' win plus Lens' draw with PSV Eindhoven means they are four points clear of third-place in the group and they will qualify for the knockout stages if they beat Sevilla in their next game on November 8, and Lens beat PSV on the same night.

- No Osimhen for Napoli, but Kvara was just enough for the win -

Giacomo Raspadori scored a winner after an inspired run by Kvicha Kvaratskhelia, as Napoli took all three points from Union Berlin on Tuesday night.

Still, it was far from an impressive performance for the Partenopi, who were without their two African stars, Victor Osimhen and Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa.

In a dull match, with little action on either end of the pitch, the deadlock was broken by a moment of magic from Kvaratskhelia. He dribbled past Christopher Trimmel to pull back from the left by-line, and Raspadori was ready to tap in from eight yards for a massive win.
