Leroy Sane continued his sensational form against Arsenal last night, with a dazzling display of skilful dribbling an balletic balance.

The 22-year-old is a joy to watch as he weaves in and out past opposition right-backs at breakneck speed.

There really is just something special about seeing a talented left-footed player in full flow, and after City’s 3-0 victory at The Emirates, Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher lavished praise on the young attacker – even comparing him to probably the Premier League’s greatest ever left winger Ryan Giggs.

‘I don’t think I’ve ever seen three goals in one half of football as good as this. This from Sane… it’s Ryan Giggs at his best.’ Carragher said.

Sane joined City from Schalke in the summer of 2016 for £46 million, and showed plenty of promise during his maiden campaign in England last term.

However, this season the German international seems to have taken his game to another level, scoring eight goals and providing 11 assists, as his side have romped to the top of the Premier League table.
