He has been outstanding.”How Amad has fared as of late(Photo by Michael Regan/Getty Images)The winger’s eye-catching form continued during his AFCON duties with the Ivory Coast, as he returned three goals and an assist in the four starts he made.At club level, he has scored twice and assisted three goals in 16 Premier League appearances, although he could’ve had another goal to his name had his contribution not been chalked off by VAR against Manchester City.He was causing all kinds of problems for Pep Guardiola’s men throughout the affair, too. As per Fotmob, Amad had five touches in the opposition’s box, dispatched two accurate long balls, completed one successful dribble and made one pass into the final third.
