Manchester City demolished Manchester Untied 6-3 at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, and is usually the case in big games Kevin de Bruyne played a key role.

While the headlines will deservedly be hogged by Erling Haaland and Phil Foden - both scored hat-tricks, with Haaland setting up two as well - De Bruyne was as good as ever.

Such are the high standards that the Belgian midfielder has set himself over the years it's easy to dismiss his contributions on Sunday as run-of-the-mill, but upon closer inspection it becomes clear just how good he was.

De Bruyne's assist for Haaland's second goal was one moment in that stood out in particular. The 31-year-old collected the ball and drove towards United's goal before clipping a curling cross towards the back post as he neared the penalty area.
