Ilkay Gundogan praises Manchester City saviour Sergio Aguero after his brace recovered Burnley FA Cup scare

Ilkay Gundogan hailed the brilliance of Manchester City team-mate Sergio Aguero after the pair combined to turn their FA Cup tie against Burnley around.

Aguero struck twice in the space of two minutes to spark a comeback that saw City recover from a goal down to move into the fourth round with a 4-1 win at the Etihad Stadium - Leroy Sane and Bernardo Silva also got on the scoresheet.

Both Aguero goals were set up by Gundogan, the first with a quickly-taken free-kick after 56 minutes and the second from an exquisite back-heel soon after the subsequent restart.
