Ilkay Gundogan dazzled with two goals in Manchester City's 4-0 romp at FC Basel on Tuesday to leave the Premier League leaders on the verge of the Champions League quarter-finals.

Pep Guardiola's side effectively settled the last-16 tie after just 23 minutes by racing into a 3-0 lead at Basel's Sankt Jakob Park.

Their first three goals came in a devastating nine-minute spell thanks to a Gundogan header, a Bernardo Silva volley and a long-range Sergio Aguero strike.

Basel's misery continued just after the break when Gundogan deftly added a fourth from outside the area and he could easily have finished with a hat-trick.

Germany midfielder Gundogan gave Basel a masterclass in defensive midfield play, complementing his two-goal display by repeatedly snuffing out fledgeling Swiss attacks.

Great result, great teamplay and what a fantastic feeling to be on the scoresheet again ????????

But it‘s only the first leg. We will stay focused. #ComeOnCity pic.twitter.com/czqEbajOfX

The only black mark against him was a late yellow card after a clash with Basel's Ivory Coast veteran midfielder Serey Die.
