Manchester City captain Ilkay Gundogan is thrilled with his team’s 3-0 win over Everton on Sunday, May 14 at Goodison Park, which drew the Citizens closer to the 2022/23 Premier League title.
Manchester City currently top the Premier League table with 85 points after 35 games – four points ahead of Arsenal who lost at home, 0-3 to Brighton on Sunday in their 36th game of the campaign.
Gundogan scored a brace including a sublime free kick, and provided an assist for Premier League topscorer Erling Haaland to net yet another in the encounter.
Gundogan highlighted the fact that winning the remaining games in the Premier League this season is vital for Manchester City’s title ambition.

“It’s the end of the season now so every game is crucial, every game is like a final now,” Mancity.com quoted Gundogan as saying
“For the last three years, this place (Goodison Park) has always been very tough for us. Even more so now I feel like this is a big win.
“We have a very experienced team. It’s not really a new situation for us, competing for the last few games of the season with someone else. The margin for mistakes is very slim, we know that. I think we were able to live this moment in the past helps us a lot.
“Sometimes you have to stay calm and trust your abilities. Even though it was tough today in the first half, that is exactly what we did.”
Gundogan has netted eight goals and notched four assists in 30 Premier League games this term.
Up next for City is the UEFA Champions League semi-final second-leg clash with Real Madrid on Wednesday, May 17 at the Etihad Stadium.
