Jamie Carragher claims Ilkay Gundogan’s slick finish is the Premier League’s goal of the season

Jamie Carragher has insisted Ilkay Gundogan’s first goal against Everton at the weekend is the best goal in the Premier League this season.

Gundogan struck in the first half of City’s 3-0 win over the Toffees’ in what was an impressive finish as he brought down Riyad Mahrez’s cross with his thigh before poking past Jordan Pickford.

The win set City on their way to the Premier League title, with Pep Guardiola’s side now needing a maximum of just one more win to clinch their third title in a row.

Speaking on Sky Sports, Carragher was full of praise for the midfielder, who will be the man to lift the title for City if they are confirmed champions.

He insisted the goal was unforgettable as he praised the German’s technique for the strike.

‘He’s had a fantastic career,’ Carragher said of Gundogan. ‘He was a special player at Dortmund and he’s a special player at City. The goal we’re looking at now I think is goal of the season.

‘It reminded me of something Bergkamp did. That is a goal we will remember for a long time.’
