Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus has praised his Arsenal teammates this past weekend.

The striker was involved in his team's 0-0 draw against Manchester City in the Premier League.

Jesus was not able to score or assist against his old team, but admitted that getting an away draw at a title rival was a good result.

Well, to play big games, you have to sometimes change your body language," said Gabriel Jesus post-game.

To come here and play against them is not easy.

We tried to win, I think we could have won. Maybe we played a different game to what we normally do, but sometimes football is like this. Each game is different.

We had some chances, we could have scored and maybe won the game, but that's football. We'll take the point.

We came last season and we suffered a lot, we conceded goals and we made some mistakes. So, to play against this team, normally it is hard and if you make some mistakes, it is even harder.

Today was a bit different, we knew from the start at some point we had to suffer a little bit, [playing] deep. They are a team which loves the ball, we do as well, but sometimes it is difficult."
