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.
