Gabriel Jesus shone as Man City defeat Watford 5-1 at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon in a Premier League fixture, Sportivation.com.ng reports.
Pep Guardiola praised “fantastic” Gabriel Jesus after the Brazilian scored four times as Manchester City crushed Watford to move four points clear at the top of the Premier League table on Saturday.
Jesus stole the show at the Etihad Stadium with the first Premier League haul of three or more goals in his career.
The forward had netted only once in the league since September, but he tore Watford to shreds with a predatory display of finishing.
He struck twice in the first half before Watford’s Hassane Kamara put one back.
Rodri restored City’s two-goal advantage and Jesus bagged two more after half-time to complete the rout.
“It’s amazing, Sometimes you play so good and don’t score and sometimes it is like this and you score all the chances you have,” Jesus said.
“I’m happy it was my day. Now is the best moment of the season. When you decide the games and win the trophies. That’s what football is for us.”
