Manchester City's Gabriel Jesus wants more goals in Sergio Aguero's absence

Last Updated: 04/12/19 11:15am

Gabriel Jesus says he needs to score more goals while playing in Sergio Aguero's role at Manchester City.

Leading the line as a replacement for the injured Aguero, Jesus scored twice in a 4-1 win against Burnley at Turf Moor in the Premier League on Tuesday.

"I know my qualities, I know I can score," said the striker.

"I have to score when I play, Sergio scores every time. That is my ambition. I want to play and score every time."

City bounced back from Saturday's 2-2 draw at Newcastle with a comprehensive display against Sean Dyche's side, but still trail Liverpool, who have a game in hand, by eight points in the title race.
