Gabriel Jesus Scores First Premier Goal

 

Gabriel Jesus scored his first Premier League goal as Manchester City comfortably beat West Ham 4-0 at the London Stadium on Wednesday. Pep Guardiola's side raced into a three-goal half-time lead thanks to goals from Kevin De Bruyne, David Silva and Jesus, who was preferred in attack to Sergio Aguero.

Yaya Toure added a penalty after the break to cap a dominant performance as West Ham, who handed debuts to Jose Fonte and Robert Snodgrass, struggled to cope with City's pace. Willy Caballero, replacing Claudio Bravo in goal, barely had a save to make en route to victory, which keeps City in fifth place, moving them level on points with Liverpool in fourth, while the Hammers remain 11th.

Guardiola made three changes from their 3-0 FA Cup fourth-round win over Crystal Palace, leaving Bravo and Aguero on the bench. It gave Jesus an opportunity to make his full league debut for City and the January signing followed up his bright display at Selhurst Park with a superb performance.
