#2 KDB the Assist King
Last season, the Belgian was out of action for a combined total of 156 days, equating to him missing 28 games. This season, he’s back and firing at his best. In the 15th minute, Kevin De Bruyne notched up his fourth assist of the season, as he teed up Sergio Agüero for the game’s opener. The 28-year-old looks set to replicate his form from the 2017/18 season.
In producing his fourth assist of the season, De Bruyne set a Premier League record, becoming the fastest player to reach 50 assists in the league. It took the Belgian 123 PL games to reach 50 assists, beating the previous record held by Mesut Özil at 141 games. This achievement truly shows that much like his teammate David Silva, he should be considered as one of the best the English top flight has ever seen.
