The men in Sky Blue produced an emphatic performance to put an end to their recent string of poor results, with Aguero and Gundogan earning the plaudits for their contribution to the scoreline.
Manchester City’s win-less run finally came to end thanks a brace each by both striker Sergio Aguero and midfielder Ilkay Gundogan. Pep Guardiola got his tactics spot on as the visitors constantly found themselves in good goal-scoring areas, making most of West Brom’s poor defensive shape.
However, the contest showed there’s still room for improvement for Manchester City as the home team troubled the Citizens with their high pressing and direct play for a good part of the second half. On any other day, West Brom could have converted one or two of their chances.
The Twiteratti, not surprisingly, couldn’t stop gushing about Aguero and Gundogan after their display today:
Aguero is just ?

Aguero easily the best striker in the league
Imagine thinking Aguero isn’t the best player in the league

Gundogan cost less than what Raiola received for brokering the Pogba deal.

Beautiful little assist from Aguero and Gundogan slots in the third. Both have been exceptional today.

Gundogan reminds me of Lampard. Those goalscoring ‘Lampard runs’ into the box.
— Charlie Crane (@Chaplin_1991) October 29, 2016
Gundogan’s issue has always been his fitness, when on form he’s one of the best midfielders in the world. Here’s hoping.
— Rafael Hernández (@RafaelH117) October 29, 2016
There’s a real reason why Gundogan was labelled as one of the best box to box midfields in europe at Dortmund, we are just finding out.

Gundogan is twice the player Pogba is
— Haydn (@haydnmcfc) October 29, 2016
Deal of the window has to be Gundogan, world class players just shouldn’t be available for that cheap, we’ve robbed Dortmund
— Aidan (@MCFC_Aidan) October 29, 2016
Gundogan is so good, would be considered world class if he played for Madrid or Barca
