It was a special day for Gabriel Jesus, as he bagged his first ever Premier League hat-trick. In fact, he scored four and assisted Rodri’s goal, too. There was little doubt who the man of the match was.
It leaves City in control of the Premier League title race with five matches left to play. This win moved us four points ahead of Liverpool, although they have a game in hand against Everton on Sunday.
The equation is simple: win all five and we will be champions for the fourth time in five seasons.
City are now the first team in Premier League history to win 15 consecutive matches against the same opponent.
And Gabriel Jesus has become the first player to score four goals in a single Premier League game since Tottenham’s Son Heung-min vs Southampton in September 2020.
After the game, we spoke to Man of the Match Gabriel Jesus and the mastermind behind it all, Pep Guardiola – and joining us in the Matchday Live studio were Paul Dickov, Michael Brown and City fan Steven McInerney.
