Ilkay Gundogan started in place of the absent David Silva and headed City in front from a corner after 14 minutes.

There was a lot of praise for Gundogan.
We forget that Gundogan is actually a pretty fine footballer sometimes.

Ratings: Ederson 9, Walker 9, Otamendi 8, Mangala 9, Delph 9, Fernandinho 9, KDB 10, Gundogan 10, Sane 9, Sterling 9, Aguero 7.5, Jesus 7.

Forgot how good Gundogan is. Scored two against Barca a while back. His performance last night was A1.

Gundogan was without a doubt the best player on the pitch today. scored and assisted against a rather big club like Spurs, he was pulling strings in today’s midfield. Proud of him.

They are never going to let that shirt wearing stunt be forgotten are they.
Touching that Gundogan scored pretty much a year on from his tragic death.

Anyone have anything to say about that?
Gundogan and Ederson are the two best passers in the world.

Gundogan with those ridiculous outside-of-the-boot through balls. First the one to KDB for the pen, now this

There are however, others who do not have a lot of time for Gundogan. He actually gets quite a lot of stick.
Gundogan another player who is hated by the fan base for genuinely no reason
