#3 Leroy Sane’s consistency
A few years ago, when Leroy Sane broke into the Schalke first team and stunned Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, there were quite a few Schalke fans who were fearful he’d be the next great academy talent to leave Gelsenkirchen for greener pastures.
In a cynical way, his inconsistency was actually a good thing for the club back then, but Manchester City, armed with money to spend, saw his raw talent and overlooked how frequently he performed on the pitch.
After a fairly low-key first season at Manchester, Sane has put in top performances week in week out so far this season and his ability coupled with the consistency is a scary prospect for opposition defenders.
While De Bruyne ran the game from midfield, Sane’s composure in the attacking third meant City made it another game with three goals as he clinically slotted a De Bruyne pass past Burnley goalkeeper Pope. His assist for Otamendi’s coupled with his goal means he has played a hand in 11 goals this season in all competitions, level with Sergio Aguero. Impressive for a 21-year old, eh?
