Kevin De Bruyne delivers again for Manchester City in a stunning performance vs Liverpool
Kevin De Bruyne is a player synonymous with top performances. On Sunday, he delivered yet again as Manchester City took on Liverpool in a blockbuster encounter.
With both teams knowing they could move ahead of their rivals with a win, there was an intense atmosphere at Etihad Stadium – and De Bruyne was right in the thick of it.
The Belgian ace has been key to City’s success over the years, and he showed why in their 2-1 victory. He was rewarded with the Man of the Match award, and rightly so.
Here’s why De Bruyne was named Man of the Match:
- Unstoppable passing: De Bruyne completed 81% of his attempted passes, many of them putting City in dangerous positions on the attack.
- Set piece deliveries: The Belgian’s set piece deliveries provided some of the most dangerous moments in the match. He set up Sergio Agüero’s crucial equalizer with a sublime free kick.
- Motor up and down the pitch: De Bruyne ran an impressive 11.19km, more than any other player on the pitch.
It was a vintage display from De Bruyne and one that will be sure to have stunned the Liverpool defence. The Belgian will be aiming to continue his stellar form in City’s next match as they face Southampton.
