CHRIS SUTTON: Gabriel Jesus should not have been on the pitch according to football's head injury protocols as Arsenal FAILED to utilise their designated concussion substitute in victory over Liverpool

Gabriel Jesus won the penalty for Arsenal's winner against Liverpool but should he have been on the pitch?

If football's concussion protocols were followed - 'if in doubt, sit them out' is the motto, remember - then you'd have to say no.

After being elbowed by Liverpool's Konstantinos Tsimikas, Jesus looked out cold. He dropped to his knees and fell on his face.
