Ilkay Gundogan sent Manchester City on their way to an 11th straight Premier League victory and fifth title in six seasons with an immaculate first touch and finish during Sunday's 3-0 win at Everton.
In one fell swoop, Gundogan controlled Riyad Mahrez's pass and struck the ball first time as he swiveled free of defender Nathan Patterson. Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford couldn't react quick enough, and City took the lead in the 37th minute.
Gundogan set up Erling Haaland's goal two minutes later and tripled City's lead with a free-kick in the 51st minute.
