Manchester City supporters have lauded Rodri for channelling his inner Emmanuel Adebayor against Arsenal.
With the clock ticking down in a high-octane Premier League encounter at the Emirates Stadium, the Spaniard hit deep into added time to complete a dramatic turnaround - and an 11th straight win for the champions.
Pep Guardiola and his star-studded team found themselves behind against the much-improved Gunners.
However, after responding through Riyad Mahrez and a VAR-induced penalty, City extended their healthy cushion at the summit over Liverpool and Chelsea.
That advantage currently stands at 11 points - although both of those clubs do have games in hand.
Not renowned for his goal-scoring, the impressive Rodri settled the scores in north London and proceeded to take his shirt off amid chaotic scenes - not to mention those comparisons with Adebayor when he netted against former side Arsenal in 2009 shortly after his controversial, direct transfer to the Etihad Stadium.
Here are a selection of comments from City supporters on social media platform Twitter;
@BLVCK_HAMMOND said: "After that Rodri celebration, he's already the best player in 2022."
