Manchester City moved 16 points clear of Manchester United at the top of the Premier League table on Thursday after beating Arsenal 3-0 at the Emirates Stadium.
The Citizens beat the Gunners by the same scoreline for the second time inside a week.
Ilkay Gundogan won his first piece of silverware with City on Sunday in the Carabao Cup final and started again yesterday.
City fans appeared pleased with the midfieler of Turkish origin on social media following the victory.
Some decided to use the opportunity to compare him with Manchester United star Paul Pogba – not for the first time this season.

The Gundogan > Pogba argument was back in force.
We paid £21m for Gundogan and he provided decent cover for our back 4 in Fernandinho’s absence. Over at United, £115m Pogba needs another £100m midfielders to free him play his favourite position..

Gundogan is better than Pogba, just gets much less hype and is clearly more versatile. Not even being spiteful I’m sorry

Gundogan played as the DM today not his favoured position but still did a job for the team.
Imagine Pogba had to do that job he wouldn’t be able to adapt.

#Manutd fans will tell you that #Pogba needs to play on the left of a midfield 3 and #Mouriho playing him in a 2 man mid isn’t getting best of him. Yet #Gundogan just pitched a 8/10 in holding defensive mid. #NotmyMildfielder #mancity

don’t compare the two. One is a footballer and the other is a babber

Not everyone agreed with Gundogan being miles better than Mr Pogba.
Everyone is blinded. It’s I’m pretty sure if Pogba was playing that defensive role in that city team he would ‘do a job’ against the worst arsenal team ever. Don’t even start mentioning Gundogan and Pogba in the same sentence when Pogba is miles ahead, city fans barely like him. https://t.co/FZmYECBhh0

He’s not perfect but generally plays well in a bad tactical setup and not in his best position. Gundogan did it for one game and he’s apparently better than Pogba at it.
