Jesus doubleGGGLP lifts Man City to third with late 2-1 Swansea win Jesus, preferred again to top scorer Sergio Aguero, poked home to break Swansea hearts in the dying seconds in what was another eye-catching performance from the supremely-talented Brazilian on Sunday.
It looked like City would be left to rue a host of missed chances when Gylfi Sigurdsson equalised in the 81st minute after Jesus had earlier opened the scoring in the 11th. City climbed to third, one point adrift of second-placed Tottenham Hotspur while Swansea remained 17th, one point above Hull City in the relegation zone. "I am very happy to score two goals," Jesus told Sky Sports with team mate Fernandinho acting as translator. "I got into the team so quickly. Everyone at the club is helping me to get better every day but of course when things like this happen it is much easier. "We played very well all game and of course we deserved to win because we tried to score goals since the first minute." Swansea had been rejuvenated under new manager Paul Clement, having won three of their previous four league games to climb out of the bottom three, but it was always going to be difficult against their free-flowing hosts. City had already created a flurry of chances in a dominant opening before Jesus reacted quickest to poke home a teasing David Silva cross.
