'When did Gundogan die?' - World pokes fun at Man City's backwards shirts vs Arsenal

Manchester City's attempt to pay tribute to injured midfielder Ilkay Gundogan backfired spectacularly on Sunday ahead of their clash with Arsenal.

The entire first team wore shirts with Gundogan's name printed on the front in solidarity with the German, who faces another long spell on the sidelines with a knee ligament injury.

'Jay Rodriguez is pure filth'

But Twitter quickly poured mockery on the incident, questioning why Pep Guardiola's men were acting like he'd passed away - with some even questioning if he'd actually died (he hasn't).

What do you make of the Gundogan shirts? Are they a touch of class or an ill-conceived tribute?
