Carabao Cup 2017/18 - Leicester City 1-1(3-4) Manchester City: 5 Talking Points

#1 Gabriel Jesus is intelligent beyond his age

Just how good is Gabriel Jesus?

On the face of it, Gabriel Jesus may have appeared quiet. In fact, the 20-year-old Brazilian, one of the more experienced players on the park for the visitors, was one of the best on the pitch.

It was his cleverness in the build-up that led to Bernardo Silva’s first-half goal; while Gündogan shuffled forward having robbed Iheanacho, Jesus cleared his path by running across the Leicester back line, allowing him to slot the ball through to Silva.

He chased everything, doing exactly what Vardy does for Leicester. High pressure is the most basic element of Guardiola’s philosophy, and it is made much easier by a player who works as hard as Jesus.

Although he didn’t showcase his sublime finishing ability, the smartest element of his game, it was very much an all-round showcase of his talents under the radar before he dispatched his penalty in the shootout with confidence.
