With the captain’s armband, and on the day he played his 300th match for Manchester City, Ilkay Gundogan put in an impressive display in Manchester City’s victory over Everton (0-3).
With Ruben Dias in the eleven, the Premier League captain sensed Liverpool’s initial difficulties, but the German opened the match with a superb goal with his back to goal (37m).
