Gabriel Jesus gets confidence from mum to help end goal drought against Everton

Manchester City’s Gabriel Jesus with his mum

Manchester City’s Gabriel Jesus said his mother's arrival in England has improved his confidence as he ended his Premier League goal drought to help Manchester City defeat Everton 3-1.

Jesus had not scored a league goal since August ‑ a run of 11 games‑ but netted twice before Raheem Sterling added City's third.

The Brazil forward, who signed for City in 2017 and extended his contract until 2023 earlier this season, has recently been joined in Manchester by his mother.

In other English Premier League matches played today, Crystal Palace defeated Leicester City 1-0, Newcastle beat Huddersfield 1-0, Tottenham defeated Burnely 1-0, Watford edged Cardiff 3-2, while West Ham beat Fulham 2-0.
