Son of a Gunn — Angus becomes City penalty hero

The 20-year-old son of former Norwich and Scotland goalkeeper Bryan Gunn, who came on as one of eight changes at half-time, secured Pep Guardiola his first win as City boss after the teams were tied 1-1 at the final whistle.

Christian Pulisic’s injury-time strike cancelled out Sergio Aguero’s 78th-minute goal to take the friendly to spot-kicks.

City struggled in the opening stages against the Bundesliga runners-up and after a quiet first half in which neither side created many chances, Guardiola swapped youth for experience with the likes of Yaya Toure, David Silva and Aguero coming on.

City looked much stronger as a result and Dortmund failed to keep up.

After 78 minutes, Alex Garcia’s pass found Silva on his own and he selflessly played in Aguero for an easy tap-in.

That looked like being the winning goal but Pulisic found the back of the net in injury time after a short corner caught the City defence napping.

Angus Gunn stopped Felix Passlack, Jacob Larsen and Mikel Merino from finding the net and City came away 6-5 victors despite misses from Raheem Sterling and Garcia.

speculation intensified about his future.

About the same time the Everton squad were taking off, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, out in China on the club’s pre-season tour, was asked about reports suggesting he was trying to sign the centre-back.

“Everyone knows we’re going to try but we will see,” was the Catalan’s response.

Everton value the 22-year-old at £50 million-plus so there is some negotiation to be done yet.

Meanwhile, another City target, Gabriel Jesus, is on the verge of completing a transfer out of Palmeiras — but has not confirmed his destination.

The 19-year-old forward, currently with Brazil’s Olympic squad, has also been linked with Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus.
