The win leaves them a point off Tottenham in second place, with a game in hand, and eight points behind leaders Chelsea.

"I know when a huge player doesn't play it's always a debate, it's always 'why and why and why' but we have an exceptional relationship.
"We were honest from the beginning and I said to him when Gabriel came, that Jesus was in a good moment and I gave him continuity, but of course, in the future, they will both be fit.
"Sergio's goals are so important for us. He scored another one today and he helps us a lot in our build-up. Again it was brilliant, really brilliant."
