Gabriel Jesus As Manchester City Beat Everton

By Daily Sports on January 2, 2020

Pep Guardiola saluted Manchester City’s fighting spirit as Gabriel Jesus extended his remarkable record against Everton with a second-half brace in Wednesday’s 2-1 win.

Jesus was handed the start as City manager Guardiola rested Sergio Aguero, but the decision to select the Brazilian ahead of the club’s record goalscorer could easily have been inspired by his mastery of Everton.

Repaying his manager’s faith, Jesus feasted on the Everton defence once again.

He has now scored seven times in his last five appearances against the Merseyside club, who must be sick of the sight of him.

“We played great so I’m delighted for the guys. This period is so tough. We did really well. Three more points and closer to Leicester,” Guardiola said.

City remain third in the Premier League after a second successive win left them 11 points behind runaway leaders Liverpool, who have two games in hand on the champions.

“When you are far away from the first position sometimes people give up, but we never give up,” Guardiola said.

“We have to keep going. We have FA Cup then the EFL Cup. Other teams dropped points for the top four so it was an important win.”

Richarlison got one back for Everton, but it was a first defeat for new boss Carlo Ancelotti, who had masterminded wins over Burnley and Newcastle in his first two matches since replacing the sacked Marco Silva. (Reuters)
