Gabriel Jesus scoring on Easter. It was written.
The Arsenal striker gave his side a two-goal lead in the first half against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday, and gave everyone the chance to take a crack at their best Easter-related Jesus pun.
To make things even more appealing for the joke-writers among us, Jesus scored when he rose up to connect with a header from a cross. Those are what we call key words.
The goal by Jesus followed an even more impressive feat from FC Dallas on Saturday night, as three players with “Jesus” as part of their name combined for a goal against Inter Miami.
Naturally, on Sunday, there were jokes aplenty after Arsenal’s Jesus scored on the day commemorating his ancient namesake.
