Superlatives are starting to run out to qualify the actions of Kevin De Bruyne at the start of 2022! Badly embarked against Southampton, the Citizens were able to count, once again, on the magic paw of the Red Devil.
After the opening of the score of the Saints by Walker-Peters from the 7th, the Mancuniens did not manage to shake up their opponents. And this, until the 65th minute of play… On a free kick from 30 meters, eccentric on the right, De Bruyne deposited the ball admirably on the head of Aymeric Laporte, far too alone at the entrance of the small rectangle and who only had to push the ball into the back of the net.
However, this is only De Bruyne’s third assist since the start of the season, he who has seven goals to his name.
This assist from the Red Devil was still not enough for Manchester City, who lost valuable points against Southampton.
