Nine goals in name games: Gundogan is Europe's most in-form player

Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has started 2021 in unstoppable form, scoring goals with a frequency unmatched elsewhere on the continent.

Rodri scored his side's opener from the penalty spot before his midfield partner put the result beyond doubt in the second half.
