Man City midfielder Gundogan grabs Prem record

Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan became the top scoring German in Premier League history after netting in their 2-0 win over Burnley.

The 31-year-old German tucked the ball away from a Raheem Sterling cross to take his tally in the English top flight to 34.

And that is now one more than former Arsenal star Mesut Ozil - who left for Fenerbahce with a record of 33 Prem goals across seven seasons.

A large percentage of those came last season when Gundogan was one of Manchester City's best players.

He hit the back of the net 13 times in the Premier League during the 2020/21 campaign - registering 17 in all competitions.

And he has added another five in the season so far to set a new German benchmark in the competition.
