Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan was proud of his role in their final day Premier League title triumph.

Summoned from the bench as a second-half substitute with City trailing 2-0 to Villa in a game we needed to win to ensure we claimed the title, Gundogan produced a season-defining cameo.

The 31-year claimed a crucial brace of goals, including the decisive 81st minute winner, and once again showcased his innate talent for being in the right place at the right time.

“I don't know, maybe it was destiny, maybe it was a bit of luck," Gundogan said as he reflected back on that incredible afternoon of high drama.

“But I was twice at the right spot and was able to score.

“I didn't really have a choice I feel.

“We just had 20 minutes to play, we were 2-0 down so all I wanted to try was to get into the box and smell where the danger might be."
