OPINION

On a day when Manchester City’s players were in the rare position of being heavily criticised (on social media, at least) by their own supporters, one man who was getting love letters was Ilkay Gundogan. The midfielder, 28, put City ahead with his fourth league goal of the season when he charged into the box and met a Fabian Delph cross with a bullet header. At that point, no-one would have predicted that City would go on to lose 3-2 at home against a team threatened by relegation. Gundogan can, at least, on a fine performance that showed he should not be the man to make way when David Silva and Kevin De Bruyne return to full fitness. As one fan points out on Twitter, quietly the former Borussia Dortmund man has been one of City’s players of the season. His greatest impact is coming with his Frank Lampard-esque late runs into the opposition box, as he demonstrated with his third goal in his last seven league matches. Following criticism in the past from the City faithful, Gundogan is starting to prove many folk wrong.
