Gundogan did not allow Rodri to execute the penalty, he gave the ball to Mahrez

Ilkay Gundogan did not allow Rodri to execute Manchester City's penalty against Aston Villa.
Pep Guardiola's side were leading by two goals when they were awarded a penalty for a tackle on Jack Grealish.
Rodri, who had scored the first goal, wanted to execute the penalty kick. However, Captain Gundogan did not allow him to do such a thing.

He took the ball from the midfielder and passed it to Riyad Mahrez, who converted to make it 3-0.

In the interview for Sky Sports, both Rodri and Gundogan were asked about the incident.

"It was clear and the captain decided, I have to accept the decision. He said that Riyad is the usual executioner, but I asked for him, because I was full of confidence at that moment, but I understand and accept the decision", explained Rodri. /Telegraph/
