The former Manchester City star got on the end of a brilliant pass from Granit Xhaka before chipping the ball beautifully over Edouard Mendy in Chelsea's goal.
Jesus' strike opened the flood gates for Arsenal, who went on to dominate the rest of the game. Mikel Arteta's men doubled their advantage in the 36th minute through Martin Odegaard's cool finish following another fantastic pass from Gabriel Martinelli.
The Gunners took a two-goal lead into the break but resumed the second half more hungry, resulting in a third goal.
