Leroy Sane is on par with Ryan Giggs at his best, says Jamie Carragher after Manchester City's win over Arsenal as Thierry Henry reveals how demanding Pep Guardiola can be as a boss: 'What Pep does is challenge your brain'

Leroy Sane's run in the build-up to Manchester City's first goal against Arsenal was as good as Ryan Giggs at his peak, according to Jamie Carragher.

Sane beat three Arsenal players before crossing the ball to Bernardo Silva, who took a touch inside and curled an effort beyond goalkeeper Petr Cech in 3-0 win.

It led Carragher to compare Sane, who also scored City's third goal of the evening, to former Manchester United winger Giggs.
