The Brazilian international had netted a hat-trick against same team to help the Gunners to advance to the Carabao Cup semi-finals on Wednesday. The Gunners got off to a quick start, as Jesus continued his fine form from Wednesday to give Arsenal the lead in the sixth minute with a powerful strike.

In contrast, the US government in November asked a judge to order the dismantling of Google by selling its widely used Chrome browser in a major antitrust crackdown on the company. The US Department of Justice urged a shake-up of Google’s business that includes banning deals for Google to be the default search engine on smartphones and preventing it from exploiting its Android mobile operating system. THE ROUNDTABLE: Tax Reform-Senate Suspends Debate 0:00 / 0:00 Determining how to address Google’s wrongs is the next stage of the landmark antitrust trial that saw th...
