Jesus nets hat trick as Man City eliminates Dinamo in CL
Associated PressZAGREB, Croatia — Gabriel Jesus scored a 20-minute hat trick as Manchester City rallied for a 4-1 win at Dinamo Zagreb to scupper the Croatian team’s chances of advancing to the Champions League’s knockout stage on Wednesday. With Shakhtar Donetsk losing 3-0 to Atalanta in a match being played at the same time, Dinamo would have secured a runner-up finish behind City with a win at Stadion Maksimir. Jesus also scored a hat trick in last season’s Champions League, at home to Shakhtar, and has now scored five goals in three games since Aguero got injured. “Gabriel is an incredible fighter, how he helps us to defend and does absolutely everything, but a striker needs goals and that is important for him, for the team, for everything.” Foden, City’s highly rated 19-year-old midfielder, wrapped up the win by finishing off a flowing team move with a close-range shot and also impressed as a replacement for the rested David Silva.
