The former Sunderland striker showered Gabriel Jesus with praise after the Brazilian international’s work in Havertz’s goal on the night, with the Arsenal striker beating two Bolton defenders and losing his boot in the process.
Signed for £45m in 2022, Jesus has endured another slow start to the season with Havertz once again viewed by Arteta as the main man in the attack, yet despite not scoring again, the former Manchester City man had bright moments against Bolton, and arguably the slickest piece of action of the night.
Bridges said on the commentary: “There’s Brazillian brilliance from Jesus on that right-hand side, he’s got no right to win it. He loses his football boot but he plays the pass, and then it’s the man who’s been magnificent tonight, Sterling.
