Jesus back in the groove as Man City keep up pressure on Liverpool

The Brazilian has admitted that he struggled in the first half of the season but is now looking increasingly dangerous and confident

The tables have turned for Gabriel Jesus recently. When he first arrived at Manchester City two years ago he was the bright young thing, the man who replaced Sergio Aguero in Pep Guardiola's line-up, even for the biggest games, because he offered more than the legendary striker.

That has changed over the course of the last six months, with Aguero very much considered first choice yet again. Jesus, by his own admission, endured a difficult first half of the season and faced questions - often from his own supporters - over whether he was good enough even to be a back-up to Aguero, if City have pretentions of fighting on all fronts.
