Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola insisted that Gabriel Jesus is very much part of his plans after he starred in the 5-0 win over Norwich.

The Brazil international has been linked with a move away from the Etihad Stadium this summer in order for City to raise funds to try and sign Tottenham striker Harry Kane.

But, playing in a wider position, he showed his worth against the Canaries, making three of the goals as City got their season up and running in style.

Boss Daniel Farke was unhappy with how four of City’s goals were almost identical.

“It was well deserved win for them, it was clear before it would be an unbelievably difficult task for us today,” he said.

“It was a big ask for us to compete, but we are disappointed with the result and the way we conceded the goals because four times it was more or less the same goal.

“Right winger in behind the left-back. We have spoken the whole week about this topic and we would have wished we would have fulfilled our defensive behaviour with a bit of individual quality, to concede the same goal four times is difficult.

“I am disappointed with the goals. If you are 2-0 down after 20 minutes it is difficult to be brave and we knew it was going to be a tough day.

“We have faced the best two teams in the division so we stick together, there is no punishment.”
