Manchester City midfielder Rodri has claimed that he was told by Ilkay Gundogan that Riyad Mahrez should take the penalty because he is the normal taker.
City's Spaniard was awarded the man of the match award on Sunday as he helped spearhead a comfortable victory over the West Midlands side. Rodri scored the opener in the early stages of the match as he powered home a corner which Emi Martinez could not keep out.
Gundogan made it two five minutes before the break as he tapped home an Erling Haaland cross. City had the chance to make it three when Jack Grealish was fouled in the area by Jacob Ramsey.
