Gabriel Jesus found himself at the center of what many are calling the season’s most unusual booking during Arsenal’s recent win over Wolverhampton Wanderers. The match, which took place at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, saw Arsenal secure a 2-0 victory, providing a strong start to their Premier League campaign.
Kai Havertz scored the opening goal for Arsenal, getting the starting spot over Gabriel Jesus, while Bukayo Saka added a second goal later in the game. Jesus, who started the match on the bench, was brought on in the 85th minute, replacing Declan Rice. He quickly made his presence known, though not in the expected manner.
Shortly after his substitution, Jesus was involved in a peculiar incident with Wolverhampton’s Yerson Mosquera. After a brief stoppage in play, television footage showed Mosquera seemingly grabbing Jesus by the buttocks, prompting an immediate reaction from the Arsenal forward. Jesus retaliated, leading to a yellow card being issued to him. This unusual booking has sparked considerable discussion, with many deeming it the most strange caution of the season so far.
