Comments:

League position: 2nd Manchester City remained unbeaten in games in the Premier League when Gabriel Jesus had scored (played 44, won 42). City avoided failing to score in three of their opening six games of a season in the Premier League for the first time since 2006. They had now won more games in all competitions under Pep Guardiola than any other of their previous managers (played 303, won 221). They won 220 in 592 games under Les McDowall from 1950 to 1963.
