Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus: We're closer to Man City; I know we can win

Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus says nerves caught up with them last season.

The Brazil international believes a lack of experience caught up with them as Arsenal surrendered the Premier League title race to Manchester City.

Gabriel Jesus said: "It's difficult to know (where we fell short) but I believe sometimes at the end of the season, we were a little bit nervous as a team.

"They were not nervous as normally they win so that made a difference. This season we have experience of this and it will be different."

On the difference with City, the striker said: "Even before, I was feeling like that the gap was not that big.

"They (Man City) are together years and that made a difference. Winning for years made a difference also.

"The year I arrived (at Arsenal) I believed we could fight and win. Unfortunately we didn't win but I think we will win, for sure."
