Burnley 1-4 Manchester City: 3 Talking Points | Premier League 2019-20

1. Gabriel Jesus takes his chances

Burnley FC v Manchester City - Premier League

Gabriel Jesus has come a long way from the highly-rated teenager who signed for Manchester City from Palmeiras for the sum of £27m in the summer of 2016.

Since then, he has found it difficult to dislodge Sergio Aguero from the starting lineup and it is not for want of trying, as the Argentine international is one of the best strikers in Premier League history and arguably the greatest player in the annals of Manchester City.

The 31-year-old, however, pulled up with an injury in the game against Chelsea and this afforded Jesus the opportunity to be Manchester City's go-to man in front of goal but he had not exactly taken his chances.

There was a missed penalty in the 1-1 draw with Atalanta, while he also fluffed his lines in the stalemate with Newcastle and more than a handful of people had started questioning his ability to lead the line when Sergio Aguero eventually departs the scene.

The Burnley game gave him a perfect opportunity to silence his critics and he responded with two well taken goals, with his second on the night underlining his ability to be a world-class striker someday.

Beyond his goals, Pep Guardiola would have been impressed with the Brazilian's all-round work ethic and with Aguero's return date still unknown, Jesus showed that he is more than capable of handling the responsibility of scoring goals.
