A Gabriel Jesus strike in the first half was enough to hand Manchester City a tight 1-0 win over Sheffield United in their Premier League encounter on Saturday afternoon.

The Citizens got off to an ideal start as Gabriel Jesus fired them into the lead with just nine minutes on the clock.

Despite all their possession and territorial dominance, Guardiola’s men struggled to find a second goal, while Chirs Wilder’s men still looked a threat on the break and set pieces.

In the end, Jesus’ first-half strike was enough for City to remain top of the Premier League.
