JESUS SAVES
GABRIEL JESUS got the party started as Manchester City hit 21 last night.
And could his late contribution prove to be the key to the door for Pep Guardiola’s men to regain their Premier League crown?
The champagne looked set to stay on ice with City’s incredible 20 match winning streak poised to end on 20 when Conor Coady equalised for Wolves in the second half.
But this team came of age as a Premier League team some time ago – and once again they proved their maturity with three late goals.

FT: MAN CITY 4-1 WOLVES
What a second half of football, and Wolves can leave with their heads held high despite conceding four!
The visitors found themselves back on level terms after Coady met Moutinho’s free-kick and glanced the ball into the far corner.
Man City fought their way back into the lead and Jesus was the man latching onto a loose ball inside the penalty area and smashing City’s second home.
Mahrez got in on the act late on, finishing low past Patricio.
And Jesus added a fourth, pouncing on Patricio’s save from Gundogan.
