Gabriel Jesus not frightened of penalties despite Man City striker's run of misses

Gabriel Jesus insists he is not afraid to take penalties in the future despite Pep Guardiola taking the responsibility away from the Manchester City striker.

The Brazilian forward has missed all three spot-kicks he has taken for club and country this season as well as missing in last summer’s Copa America for Brazil.

After his penalty was saved in the midweek victory over Sheffield United, team-mate Ilkay Gundogan took over the duty to open the scoring in Sunday's 4-0 victory over Fulham.
