City dominated the first half, but fell behind four minutes after the restart, when Kylian Mbappe fired through Ederson’s legs to finish off the sort of counter-attack which made the visitors dangerous all night.
It did little to halt the flow of the game, and, with City remaining in the ascendancy, Raheem Sterling levelled from close range when Kyle Walker’s wonderful pass across the face of goal evaded all of the PSG defenders to give the winger a simple finish at the far post.
Neymar spurned a good chance to restore Mauricio Pochettino’s side’s lead, firing wide after an intricate passing move and the Brazilian was left ruing his missed opportunity when Jesus slammed home the winner 14 minutes from time.
Again, the goalscorer benefited from a classy assist as Riyad Mahrez picked out Bernardo Silva at the far post and the Portuguese showed great awareness to play a first-time ball back for Jesus to convert from six-yards.
It was a thoroughly deserved victory for City, who delivered our best performance in Europe this season to beat one of the competition’s most dangerous sides.
