The forward wants his teammates to stick together as they chase the Premier League title.
Gabriel Jesus has called on his Arsenal teammates to stick together after they were denied three points by Southampton on Friday.
The Saints came into the match at the bottom of the table but frustrated the Gunners, who eventually managed a point from the game with a late fightback.
"Like the last two games, it’s two points dropped. With all respect to our opponents, Southampton, they came to play the game of their lives because of the situation they’re in now, and us too," Jesus called on.
"We have to understand that every point can decide the league. But, like we all say, now it’s time to stick together, and then we go again."
