Jesus to hit milestone with impressive Premier League record still intact | OneFootball

Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus is on the brink of a significant milestone for the Gunners — and the Brazilian still has a remarkable Premier League record quietly sitting in his back pocket.

Having recently returned from a lengthy injury lay-off, Jesus is set to make his 100th appearance for Arsenal in this week’s Carabao Cup quarter-final against Crystal Palace. While that landmark may arrive in cup competition, one of his most eye-catching stats remains firmly rooted in the league.

Jesus came off the bench for the final 25 minutes of Arsenal’s 1-0 win away at Everton last weekend, and Gunners supporters will be eager to see him find the net in the Premier League once again — not least because the Brazilian has never lost a top-flight match in England in which he has scored.

Here’s a closer look at the podium of Premier League players who boast a perfect unbeaten record when getting on the scoresheet.

Gabriel Jesus?62 Premier League games scored in – W57 D5

Beyond his four Premier League winners’ medals with Manchester City, Jesus owns one of the competition’s most enviable consistency records. His 76 league goals have come across 62 separate matches — and in every single one of those games, his team has avoided defeat.

Context matters, of course. Jesus has spent his Premier League career almost exclusively within dominant sides, which helps explain how he has climbed this list so quickly despite making just 229 appearances in the competition. The majority of those came at Manchester City, following his arrival in the same summer that Pep Guardiola took charge

James Milner?55 Premier League games scored in – W44 D11

James Milner has a habit of appearing on Premier League longevity lists — youngest scorers, oldest scorers, most appearances — and this one is no different.

Across spells with Leeds United, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Manchester City, Liverpool and Brighton & Hove Albion, Milner scored in 55 Premier League matches without ever ending up on the losing side — a total surpassed only by Jesus.

Diogo Jota?52 Premier League games scored in – W43 D9

The late Diogo Jota scored in 52 Premier League matches without tasting defeat. Most of those came during his time at Liverpool, where he netted in 34 different league games under Jürgen Klopp without losing, before adding a further six under Arne Slot.

Jota’s impact on Merseyside was immediate. He became the first Liverpool player since Robbie Fowler to score seven goals in his first 10 appearances — and the first to score in each of his opening four Premier League home matches for the club.

He also struck in 12 league games for Wolverhampton Wanderers without defeat, completing an extraordinary unbeaten scoring record.
