Pep Guardiola hailed matchwinner Gabriel Jesus as one of his best signings for Manchester City after the Brazil forward netted the only goal in City’s 1-0 win at Premier League title rivals Chelsea.

Jesus impressed with his link-up play with Kyle Walker once again, and he eventually opened the scoring with a deflected effort in the 53rd minute.
Speaking after the game, Guardiola was pleased with Jesus and cited that he always gives everything on the pitch.
“Gabriel always gives everything – you cannot say anything to him,” he told BT Sport.
“Every single game he runs for his teammates. Having these types of players makes me so happy.”
These Guardiola’s comment on Jesus has prompt Plenty of Sky Blues to react on social media.
Thank you Pep. You make us proud. Thank you again.

So happy out board was smart enough to keep Gabby after he struggled to find form last season due Covid and not being able to get fully fit. Also Bernardo is an incredible footballer and I hope he stays in a City shirt for the next ten years.

He got beat today by Chelsea defenders, but he got up every time and in the end scored the goal.
