Fernandinho: Gabriel Jesus shone for City in Manchester derby cameo

This is a modal window.

The ESPN FC crew lament the inability of both Manchester sides to play an aesthetically pleasing style of football.

MANCHESTER -- Gabriel Jesus demonstrated his huge promise in his brief appearance in the 0-0 Manchester derby draw, Manchester City teammate Fernandinho has said.

Gabriel, 20, made his first appearance in 10 weeks as a late substitute against Manchester United after recovering from the broken foot that wrecked his superb start after arriving in January.

The Brazilian came on as an 86th-minute substitute and thought he had snatched the only goal of the game with a near post header, only for the effort to be ruled out for offside.
