Jesus is surprised at instant City success

GABRIEL Jesus admits even he is surprised at how quickly he has adapted to the Premier League.

Manchester City's 19-year-old Brazilian striker, a £27million signing from Palmeiras, marked a sparkling full league debut with a goal in the 4-0 win at West Ham.

Jesus formed part of a youthful three-pronged attack with Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling at the London Stadium, and the exciting trio simply tore the Hammers apart.

City will be hoping for more of the same when they host Swansea on Sunday.

"I'm very happy for the goal, very happy for the performance and especially for the win," Jesus told City TV.

"This is the spirit I think we have to have and if we keep that spirit we will be able to achieve our goals.

"I always said I came here to help, but I have also been helped. We understand each other very well, Sterling, Leroy and the rest of my team-mates."

Meanwhile, Yaya Toure and Jesus have been added to the City squad for the Champions League knockout stages.

Midfielder Toure was left off manager Pep Guardiola's 25-man list for the group stages, sparking a row with his agent that led to him being frozen out of the side for a spell.

City face Monaco in the last 16 of the competition.
