Man City ace Sterling: Gabriel Jesus no super-sub

Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling insists Gabriel Jesus has shed his status as a super-sub.

The Brazilian scored twice to help City beat Real Madrid last week and book their place in the Champions League semi-finals.

And Sterling has praised Jesus for his performances since Sergio Aguero was sidelined with injury.

“He (Jesus) is not a sub, we've got two great strikers at this club," said Sterling.

“Both strikers score goals and when you play with either one of them you know what you expect from each of them. They are both top players in front of goal. You saw from Gabby his calmness in front of goal was brilliant."
