'I'm happy that he's back... and scores a brilliant goal': Pep Guardiola boosted by goalscoring return of Gabriel Jesus in victory over Olympiacos ahead of Liverpool clash

Pep Guardiola was pleased to see Gabriel Jesus on the scoresheet on his return from a thigh injury as Manchester City earned a 3-0 win over Olympiacos in the Champions League.

City have been operating without a specialist centre forward in recent weeks and the Brazilian's return gives them greater threat ahead of this weekend's clash with Premier League champions Liverpool.

Guardiola said: 'It was important, of course, the fact he's back. It's good news, especially for the striker to score a brilliant goal. I'm delighted with most of the game and happy that Gabriel is back.
