London, April 23 / BNA / Gabriel Jesus scored four goals in Manchester City’s 5-1 victory over Watford to achieve another victory in his battle with Liverpool for the English Premier League title on Saturday.
The Brazilian striker also provided a crucial pass for City’s other goal, a stunning goal from Rodri, as the defending champion boosted his lead to four points, according to the Associated Press.
Hassan Kamara managed to score goals for the visitors, but Roy Hodgson’s relegation-threatened side were no match for City, who were tough and effective in attack.
Seven points from safety and having played more games than the two teams directly above them, the Hornets next penultimate time is running out.
Such was City’s dominance, and the team could fall behind in the latter stages knowing that the onus is on Liverpool to respond to Everton on Sunday.
It also gave City’s players a chance to conserve some energy ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League semi-final first leg against Real Madrid.
Meanwhile, Jesus can savor his brilliant response to speculation about his future in light of strong reports linking City to Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland.
