'I was highly expecting to start that game and I didn't': lkay Gundogan reveals his Premier League title-winning brace was fuelled by anger of substitute role at the premiere of Manchester City's new documentary 'Together: Champions Again!'

Ilkay Gundogan has revealed his dramatic two-goal title-winning display against Aston Villa last season was fuelled by the anger of starting on the bench.

The German midfielder struck twice in five minutes, either side of a Rodri effort, as Manchester City sensationally recovered from 2-0 down to beat Villa 3-2 and secure the Premier League crown on the final day.

City had needed to win to be sure of holding off Liverpool in a compelling title race and Gundogan, who only entered as a second-half substitute, had been frustrated not to be involved from the start.
