The goalkeeper had been devastated after a horrible error playing out from the back saw him kick his clearance onto Kai Havertz, the ricochet taking the ball into the empty net.
That was the equaliser following Rayan Cherki’s opener just a few minutes earlier, but he made up for his error with a couple of big saves, also thanking the woodwork on two occasions.
Donnarumma lets loose in Manchester
So when Erling Haaland turned in the decisive goal and the final whistle blew, Donnarumma went wild with his celebrations.
The Italian was caught on camera diving headlong into the crowd of Manchester City supporters behind his goal, disappearing into the sea of sky blue.
His relief was palpable after fearing that the costly error would be a decisive turning point in the Premier League race.
Instead, the victory puts Manchester City just three points behind leaders Arsenal with a game in hand to be played against Crystal Palace.
Donnarumma is on track to potentially win the Premier League title at his first attempt, having joined the club after taking the Champions League and Ligue 1 for Paris Saint-Germain.
