Manchester City beat Chelsea 2-0 in the FA Community Shield on Sunday at Wembley stadium.
Ilkay Gundogan replaced Leroy Sane at half-time and played the last 45 minutes wearing a face mask.
We took a look at how City fans reacted to Gundogan’s display on social media after the game.

City fans appeared pleased with the midfielder of Turkish origin against Chelsea afterward.
Gundogan has been ridiculously good since coming on. Passing is elite..but you’ll never hear anything about it because his name isnt KDB.?

But to be fair most of the comments we came across regarding Gundogan were focused on his face mask.
Firstly let’s just clear something up.
It’s not a nose job!
Gundogan will be wearing a protective mask for around a fortnight after surgery on deviated septum.
There were a lot of Batman jokes, surprisingly nobody compared him to Zoro!
It’s been a tough summer for me personally, thus my absence. It’s good to be back my friends and as we pick up the first trophy of the season, I’d just like to ask my fellow blues, has Gundogan had a nose job or what?? pic.twitter.com/dB01zh4Aas
