MANCHESTER CITY GRABBED a stoppage-time winner to edge out relegation-threatened Swansea City 2-1 and move back into the Premier League’s top four.

As the ball ricocheted around the Swansea penalty area, Jesus was in the right place at the right time to prod a volley past Lukasz Fabianski.
The visitors raised their game after the interval and saw a Gylfi Sigurdsson free-kick touched onto the woodwork by Willy Caballero.

City appeared to have weathered that storm, but Swansea’s Icelandic talisman drove a left-footed effort from the edge of the box low into the bottom corner nine minutes from time.
There was, however, still time for Jesus to pounce on a fumble from Fabianski and seal back-to-back victories for the hosts.
