​Man City striker Gabriel Jesus delighted to be back on scoresheet

Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus is happy to be among the scorers again.

The Brazilian has struggled with his fitness this season, but came off the bench to help his team defeat Olympiacos in the Champions League.

City got a 3-0 group stage win with Jesus getting the second goal. Ferran Torres and Joao Cancelo were also among the scorers.

"It's so good for me," Jesus told BT Sport.

"When I got injured I was so unhappy. Of course every player when he gets injured is unhappy. I worked a lot to recover as quickly as possible because I wanted to be in the pitch helping my team mates. They were doing very well so I was happy to come back and score."
