Manchester City continued to assert their authority in the second half, with Rico Lewis and Erling Haaland extending their lead before De Bruyne sealed the victory with another sensational goal from outside the box despite a late consolation from Odsonne Edouard to make it 4-2.
De Bruyne’s brace not only secured the win but also marked a significant milestone in his career, as he reached his 100th goal for Manchester City. This remarkable feat, achieved in 372 games, cements his legacy as one of the club’s greatest players.
