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.

"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/
