Jesus completed a £45m move from Manchester City this month
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said new signing Gabriel Jesus "creates chaos" after the Brazil forward scored in a 2-0 friendly win over Everton.
The £45m signing continued his impressive pre-season form by firing home from a 33rd-minute corner at the M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.
Jesus, who scored twice against Nuremberg this month, helped set up Bukayo Saka for Arsenal's second.
"He creates uncertainty and he's always on your shoulder," said Arteta.
"He's a real threat and this is what we need. He's very versatile, but obviously the way we would like to develop him is in that [number nine] position."
