Pep Guardiola compared Julian Alvarez to former Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus, after the Argentine scored in the Champions League vs Sevilla.
Alvarez has started the last three games for City, with Haaland missing the last two through injury. He was given a thankless task against Dortmund and Leicester in previous outings, with little supply to the front line, and against Sevilla it looked like a similar story in a tightly-contested first half.
However, a tactical shuffle in the second half gave Alvarez more space, and he was able to assist youngster Rico Lewis for City's equaliser, and he latched onto a wonderful Kevin De Bruyne pass to put the Blues ahead. He then dispossessed a defender and set up Riyad Mahrez to make sure of the three points.
