Manchester City went into their Premier League match against Tottenham wanting to put behind the midweek European disappointment and they got off to a dream start thanks to Gabriel Jesus and Ilkay Gundogan.
The Brazilian striker opened the scoring just after the 20-minute mark after being picked out by an inch-perfect long ball from Vince Kompany, skipping past a few defenders before emphatically firing it past opposing goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.

Nonetheless, City had a penalty and Gundogan powered it in off the post to double the Premier League leaders advantage.
