Sergio Gomez has really stepped up recently, and he claimed the MOTM award against Copenhagen.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A top performance from <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sergiogm_10?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@sergiogm_10<\/a>! \u2728<\/p>\n<p>? 5-0 \u26ab\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ManCity?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ManCity<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/VrUWyL8e99\">pic.twitter.com\/VrUWyL8e99<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Manchester City (@ManCity) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ManCity\/status\/1577767157164904448?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 5, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Signed for only \u00a311m from Anderlecht in the summer, that figure is already looking like a snip. Pep Guardiola has a tendency to toss a blizzard of banknotes at full-backs, but the modest fee couriered to Brussels for Gomez&#8217;s services is already looking like shrewd business from City.<\/p>\n<p>He made a tangible introduction to the Manchester Derby at the weekend as he came on for an injured Kyle Walker. And he quickly set to work getting involved in City&#8217;s cyclical waves of attacking pressure, finally setting up Haaland for the Norwegian&#8217;s historic hat-trick.<\/p>\n<p>And again this evening, Haaland profited off Gomez&#8217;s attacking enterprise. A rasping volley stung the gloves of Kamil Grabara, who could only parry the ball into Haaland&#8217;s trajectory, and the rest was as predictable as Jack Grealish cutting in on his right boot.<\/p>\n<table>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"background-color: #e13f35;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Club<\/b><\/span><\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td style=\"background-color: #e13f35;

With the left-back area having been a problem position for Guardiola pretty much since he joined the club, Gomez&#8217;s rapid rise these last few games could really solve the quandary.<\/p>\n<p>The City boss has interchanged between Joao Cancelo and Walker this term, while utility man Oleksandr Zinchenko played the role with distinction as an auxiliary left-back before he joined Arsenal. Heck, even Fabian Delph had a succesful stint as a No. 3 under Guardiola at one point.<\/p>\n<p>But Gomez is, for all intents and purposes, a &#8216;proper&#8217; left-back, not a versatile midfielder or right-back masquerading as a 3.
