Manchester City 2-1 Bristol City - 5 talking points

#1 The quintessential chapter on the life and crimes of Kevin De Bruyne

There's no need to worry

Another inspired performance from the unstoppable Belgian proved to be the difference between the sides in a tight affair. It was he who decided that he had seen enough and forayed into the attacking half at top speed, early in the second half.

As De Bruyne galloped ahead, the Bristol City defenders looked like they were running away from danger and retreated like a jumpy herd of deer at the site of a mauler.

De Bruyne then squared one for Sterling before receiving it back and smashing it past Fielding with characteristic ease. Another night, yet another thumping strike.

KDB wasn't done, however, and almost made something out of nothing as he just slalomed past 3 or 4 Bristol players to break into the area before unleashing a shot that was unfortunately deflected off target.

The Belgian playmaker was once again precise with his passing and showed incredible vision at times which saw him pick passes with the foresight of a fortune teller. De Bruyne will continue to prove to be the difference between Manchester City and the rest as Manchester City's glorious season looks to be getting better and better.
