Riyad Mahrez is City’s top scorer on 13 in all competitions this season and Raheem Sterling leads the way with seven in the Premier League. Gabriel Jesus' terrible penalty-kick record did not get any better against Swindon Town (Image: Lynne Cameron - Manchester City/Manchester City FC via Getty Images) There have also been three goals in the Champions League, including the winner against Paris Saint-Germain, while last Friday’s FA Cup tie at Swindon showcased his tireless pressing from the front, his eye for goal and abysmal penalty record. Only Liverpool duo Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold (nine apiece) have more in the division. His seven Premier League assists are three more than any other City player this term. Jesus has continued to vindicate this switch. “When you play central it is more difficult to get good balls playing so so central. “Some players when they get the ball in more wide positions, their body shape is more open and they have more time to make the right decision. "I spoke to Gabriel and he likes to play in the wider positions,” Guardiola said, explaining his forward's new role after Jesus created three goals in the 5-0 August win over Norwich City. In fact, if you asked most City fans whether he was having a good season, they’d probably answer in the affirmative.
