Jesus strikes late after Aguero fluffs penalty
Gabriel Jesus came off the bench to spare strike partner Sergio Aguero's blushes after his penalty was saved as Manchester City earned a late 1-0 win over Leicester City.
Kasper Schmeichel had already frustrated the visitors on a number of occasions in Sunday's (AEDT) clash prior to keeping out Aguero's 62nd-minute spot-kick.
But just as Leicester looked to be heading for a third draw in a row, substitute Jesus — brought on for Aguero — clinically converted 10 minutes from time at King Power Stadium.
A second win in a row for City in what has been a difficult period off the field ensures it has a seven-point gap over third-placed Leicester, which hit the post through Jamie Vardy early on for its best chance.
