Manchester City moved five points clear atop of the Premier League after beating Liverpool 4-1 on Sunday and Ilkay Gundogan was one of many players praised for his performance at Anfield – no Man City player had more shots over the 90 minutes.
The £36m-rated 30-year-old bagged a brace and could have had a hattrick if not for a missed first-half penalty. His first goal was a close-range tap in, reacting fast after Alisson saved Phil Foden’s initial effort. Gundogan’s second goal was another tap-in, finishing from close range after a magnificent Phil Foden solo run.
