Manchester City are back in the Premier League title race after trashing West Bromwich Albion in their 19 round clash with a 5-0 score. Ilkay Gundogan needed only six minutes to open the score for Pep Guardiola's side after an assist from Joao Cancelo. It was Gundogan's sixth goal in his last Premier League games.
After settling for Gundogan's goal, Cancelo netted the second one in the 20th minute of the game. However, it was marked as a controversial goal because West Brom's defenders stopped as the linesman flagged for offside, but Cancelo scored and VAR gave the goal.Cancelo ➡ Gündoğan 👏 pic.twitter.com/TvgdHhtue8
