‘Balling Like A Prime Xavi’ – Man City Fans Single Out Star Man For Praise Following Burnley Comeback
Manchester City came from behind to beat Burnley 4-1 in the FA Cup Third Round clash at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
Ilkay Gundogan started the game and put on an impressive display providing two assists, both for Sergio Aguero.
The midfielder of Turkish origin took his season tally to six assists in all competitions this season.
As expected Gundogan’s display went down pretty well with City fans.
We took a look at how City fans on social media reacted to Gundogan’s performance.

And to think… Gundogan is considered a bench player. City have pretty impressive depth, perhaps the deepest squad in the Premier League.
So many positives today
Sane – 1 assist and 1goal
Aguero – 2 goals
Gundogan – 2 assists
Bernando – 1 goal+ a very solid display by both Zinchenko and Danilo and arguably a motm performance by Gundogan. Crazy how all 3 are our bench players.

If Pogba just dropped that performance Gundogan did you’d have Journaliste and KingMartiaI posting GIFs of it for the next week straight

If Pogba done what Gundogan did, United fans would tweet shit like “Pogba is a fast thinker, but his name isn’t De Bruyne so it doesn’t count ???”

Xavi-esque.
Omggg look at Gundogan, balling like a prime Xavi ??

Interesting!
That assist from Gündogan is hardly a surprise: He was a #10 throughout his youth & at Nürnberg. Klopp may have converted him to an #8 (and he was without doubt the best #8 in the 2012-13 CL), but he never lost that creative flair

Should Gundogan be a No 10? the midfielder put on an impressive display as an attacking midfielder, will Pep Guardiola keep him in the same role moving forward.
Anyone else think Gundogan is actually better at number 10?
