Gundogan claims Castrol Game Changer award

Ilkay Gundogan has won the 2021/22 Castrol Game Changer of the Season award.  

Gundogan claims the inaugural prize, given to the individual with the single most game-changing performance over the course of the campaign, for his display in a 3-2 win over Aston Villa that helped Manchester City win the title on the final day. 

With his team 2-0 down at home and seeing their hopes of the title slipping away, Gundogan came on as a substitute and scored twice in six minutes to inspire a turnaround win.  

It was a season-defining display by the German, who ensured Man City finished above Liverpool and lifted their sixth #premierleague Trophy. 

Gundogan wins the award after receiving the most votes from the public and a panel of football experts. 

The 31-year-old topped a six-man shortlist also including Paul Pogba, Aaron Ramsdale, Steven Bergwijn, Cristiano Ronaldo and Kevin De Bruyne.
