Jesus to the rescue

Gabriel Jesus became an instant Manchester City hero as he scored an injury-time winner against Swansea City in their 2-1 victory.

With the game locked at 1-1 and time ticking away, David Silva sent in a left-footed cross from the right and Jesus timed his run brilliantly to head at Lukasz Fabianski, who palmed the ball back into his path and he gleefully tapped in from a yard at the second attempt to seal the points and cement his status as the Premier League's most exciting new player.

Jesus has hit the ground running since making his debut from the bench against Tottenham in January. Since breaking into Pep Guardiola's first-team, City have won their last three games and by an aggregate of 8-1. Even with Sergio Aguero fit and available for selection, Jesus is keeping him out of the side.

"It's very early days but this kid looks special," said Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher.

"I've played with Wayne Rooney and Michael Owen as teenagers and you knew straight away they had special talents.

"The fact Jesus is keeping Sergio Aguero out of the Manchester City team - who is one of the best strikers in Premier League history - shows just what Pep Guardiola must think of him."

City and their new hero are next in action against Bournemouth on Monday Night Football.
