The Germany international scored two outstanding goals and created another as Pep Guardiola's side took another step towards a third title in a row

Ilkay Gundogan showed no mercy against Everton and scored one of the finest goals of his Manchester City career in a 3-0 stroll for the champions at Goodison Park on Sunday. Everton had managed to frustrate Pep Guardiola's side for most of the first half, but Gundogan broke the deadlock with some top class artistry, flicking the ball into the net with his back to goal.

No sooner had he scored, the Germany international focused on setting up City's second goal, a thumping header from Erling Haaland. Gundogan then completed a second successive brace in the Premier League with a sumptuous free-kick.

City are now just two wins from clinching the Premier League title, and will face Real Madrid with refreshed legs in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final with their confidence levels as high as they could be.
