Gabriel Jesus Seals Historic 3-Goal Edge Over Firmino in Premier League

The striker Gabriel Jesus is about to break a historic record in the Premier League, achieving only three goals to equal the mark of Roberto Firmino, the former Liverpool player, who has 82 goals in the competition. In the meantime, Gabriel Jesus has 79 goals in 243 matches, while Firmino scored 82 goals in 256 games. Moreover, the Arsenal team, which currently defends him, will play the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain, a challenge that may contribute to more achievements for the player. With Arsenal’s victory in the 2025/26 edition, Gabriel Jesus also approached another record: the one of Brazilian with the most titles in the tournament’s history, with five titles won.

Despite his low direct participation rate in goals per game at 0.54, Gabriel Jesus’ volume of goals and assists is impressive. With 126 goals and 67 assists in 358 Premier League games, the striker has shown his ability to contribute to the team’s success. In addition, his number of goals and assists for Arsenal is significant, with 31 goals and 22 assists in 122 games. This shows that the player was crucial to the club’s success, including in the 2025/26 title win. Now, he approached a record that is part of the Premier League’s history. However, he is not yet the top scorer, as Roberto Firmino still has a bit more than he does, but if Gabriel Jesus continues like this, he may be able to equal Firmino’s mark, and who knows, even surpass him. However, he needs to continue playing efficiently.

In terms of numbers, Firmino’s record is more distant than it seems at first glance. With 82 goals in 256 games, the former Liverpool player has a direct participation rate of 0.32 goals per game. Already Gabriel Jesus has a slightly higher rate, with 0.33 goals per game, but is still far from equaling Firmino’s mark. However, Arsenal’s team, which currently defends him, will participate in the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain. It is possible that he will continue to play efficiently and thus reach the historic record. In addition, it worth mentioning that Gabriel Jesus has a great relationship with the team, he has already established himself as a reference of the club in a few years, and this certainly helps the team and him.
