#2 Leroy Sane harasses Bournemouth in a 'man of the match' display

Sane was brilliant for City

After a sensational campaign last time, Leroy Sane's season started off slowly. He was failing to displace Riyad Mahrez from the starting lineup, and his situation with the national team was looking doubtful as well.

Fast forward a couple of months, and the wiry German winger is back to his best. Against Bournemouth, Sane was electric, and Cherries right-back Trevor Francis was left chasing behind him. His run in behind the defence set up the opening goal, and his squared pass to Gundogan sealed the game for the Cityzens.

Sane was impressive in last week's game against West Ham as well. The injury to Benjamin Mendy has probably secured his starting place a bit more, as he is the only person who can provide width on the left side with his natural foot.
