Some Sky Blues were left disappointed by the performance of Ilkay Gundogan as Manchester City beat the Red Devils 2-0 in a commanding display at Old Trafford to win the Manchester derby.
It didn’t take long for Manchester City to earn a lead, with Eric Bailly turning a Joao Cancelo cross into his own net early on. Cancelo was the provider again when Bernardo Silva doubled City’s lead just before the break.
And though Man United managed to get a foothold in the possession charts after half-time, they rarely troubled Ederson on an afternoon that the Blues managed comfortably.
The Etihad Stadium natives could have scored more had it not been for De Gea relentlessly morphing into a wall. Standing up to the Citizens, while they caught his defenders cold.
It was a dominant afternoon against their rivals but one man who didn’t seem to impress some fans was Gundogan.
Gundogan was industrious, good on the ball and always available in midfield. However, there were a few times when he could’ve done better in the box, but outside of it he did well.
The Germany international, missing a big chance to get on the scoresheet himself, hit the woodwork and was among the lowest-rated City players according to SofaScore.
Some Manchester City fans have reacted to his performance on social media.
Gundo hasn’t been too good has he
