Watch: Genius! Ilkay Gundogan flicks Man City in front at Everton
Ilkay Gundogan once again proved his value to Manchester City as he scored two goals and provided an assist in their crucial victory over Everton.
Despite Erling Haaland’s impressive goal-scoring record, Gundogan’s impact cannot be ignored, especially as he seems to be leaving City this summer for Barcelona.
In this match, Gundogan’s first goal was a remarkable finish that showcased his skills as a goal-scoring midfielder. He then set up Haaland for City’s second goal with a perfect left-wing cross.
Gundogan wasn’t done yet, as he scored a magnificent 20-yard free-kick to seal City’s win. With this victory, City moves closer to their fifth league title in six years.
However, manager Pep Guardiola rested some key players ahead of their Champions League semi-final second leg against Real Madrid.
Despite this, City extended their unbeaten run to 22 games and 16 wins from their last 18 league and cup matches.
For Everton, this loss leaves them only one point above the relegation zone, and their hopes of avoiding relegation are in danger.
