GABRIEL JESUS netted a penalty to score his first goal since October as he gave Arsenal the lead against Leeds this afternoon.
But some fans felt he dived to win the spot kick.
Jesus, 25, twisted and turned inside the box, sending defender Luke Ayling to the ground.

The forward went tumbling to the turf, with the referee not hesitating to point to the spot.
Jesus dusted himself down and slotted down the middle to put the Gunners 1-0 in front.
