West Ham United 0-5 Manchester City: Five Talking Points | Premier League 2019-20

#2 Kevin de Bruyne looks possessed to regain "Best in PL" tag

West Ham United v Manchester City - Premier League

Kevin De Bruyne was Manchester City's best player in 17/18 and perhaps the best player in England too. Last season, he was out of action for the majority of the games owing to a prolonged knee injury. In the meantime, maybe we have all forgotten about him due to the impressive performances from Bernardo Silva and Raheem Sterling.

But this is KDB we're talking about and when he's fit, he's still one of the best midfielders around. De Bryune's heat map is scattered all over the pitch against West Ham and he had a good contribution, helping to progress play from deep, and looked sharp in the final third. Sterling's first goal was created solely by De Bruyne after a brilliant dribble right down the middle of West Ham's defense.

38/48 passes out of which 3 key passes, 65 touches, 4 tackles (100%) - Kevin De Bruyne's stats against West Ham. He had an assist to his name too. The Belgian looks a possessed player to take back what he was, and what he deserves, "The Best Player in EPL" tag.
