It's that simple. Kevin De Bruyne has only been on the football field twelve times this season, but he is now in double figures. With friend Erling Haaland, KDB went all out against Luton Town: five goals for one and four goals for the other. Machines.
New week, new content. Concerns about his overworked hamstrings are behind him. Upon his return to the starting lineup, after a few days of mandatory rest, Kevin De Bruyne showed his brilliance once again. With four assists (!) to his favorite focal point, Erling Haaland. He scored five goals for Manchester City for the second time, and De Bruyne achieved his record. For the first time, he made four assists in one match against City.
Against a Luton side downstairs, De Bruyne went where he wanted. He went wherever he wanted. To my friend Haaland. Of the 79 goals scored by the Norwegian goal machine against City, 18 were handed on a silver platter by De Bruyne. Royal couple. During his presence, Haaland repeatedly indicated that he missed De Bruyne greatly. They made up for it on a cold Tuesday.
The Red Devils could have easily scored their third goal of the season, but faced Krul. He increased the other counter. De Bruyne has been out of action for four and a half months, but he now has 11 assists in all competitions. In twelve matches for City he was decisive thirteen times. Nice report numbers
While the English media continue to wonder about the possibility of his move to Saudi Arabia next summer, De Bruyne is focusing on the present. “For me, he is one of the best midfielders of all time,” his fellow Devil Amadou Onana (Everton) said admiringly in an interview yesterday. De Bruyne is an assist machine.
Jeremy Doku was on the bench for the third straight game. After a brilliant start at City, he is looking for his best form and decisive behavior – De Bruyne has now surpassed him. Even before half-time, Doku was allowed to relieve the injured Grealish. He had a much harder time getting ahead than his big two.
City led 0-3 against Luton, but found themselves in trouble – before the hour mark they were back at 2-3. Until De Bruyne and Haaland pressed the accelerator again. It was a fantastic goal-fest (2-6), thanks to Luton opening the floodgates in defence.
De Bruyne's troublesome hamstring finally held up. He even completed 90 minutes.
