MANCHESTER, England -- Three thoughts from Manchester City 2-1 Swansea in the Premier League.
1. City escape to keep top four bid on track
Manchester City left it late. They diced with a damaging draw, salvaged victory in memorable fashion and went third. They could celebrate the precocious Gabriel Jesus, who took his tally to three goals in two games, and reflect on how they nearly dropped points.
What had seemed a routine win was cast into doubt by Gylfi Sigurdsson's 81st-minute leveller. Despite dominating, City had lost a lead in their previous home game, a 2-2 draw against Tottenham, and history seemed set to repeat itself.
