In a match that illuminated the Etihad Stadium, Rayan Cherki stole the spotlight with a sensational rabona assist during Manchester City's commanding 3-1 English Premier League win over Sunderland.
The 22-year-old Frenchman, signed from Lyon in a 50 million summer move, wrapped his right leg behind his left to whip a curling cross onto the head of Phil Foden, sealing City's third goal in style.
The moment electrified the 52,000 fans in attendance and instantly went viral online, as City moved to within two points of Premier League leaders Arsenal amid an otherwise inconsistent season. They also backed that run of form with a thrilling Champions League victory over Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu.
