'If there was one person who deserves the best it's Gabriel': Pep Guardiola lavishes praise on Manchester City four-goal hero Gabriel Jesus but admits that 'nothing changes' in the title race despite emphatic win over Watford

Pep Guardiola was full of praise for Gabriel Jesus after the Brazilian netted four goals in Manchester City's 5-1 win over Watford.

Jesus had scored just three league goals all season before Saturday afternoon, but was on red-hot form against the Hornets as he also provided the assist for Rodri's thunderous strike in the first half.

The result moves league leaders City four points clear of Liverpool, who face Everton in the Merseyside derby on Sunday.
