De Bruyne walks on United
It was his derby!
Kevin De Bruyne shined on the lawn of the Etihad Stadium this Sunday (4-1).
Very fit, the Belgian international allowed his team to take the lead in the first minutes by taking from the left a good cross from Bernardo Silva (4th).
The Citizens playmaker constantly brought danger to the opposing goal by serving his partners in ideal conditions, especially on the counterattack.
He, who had only scored one goal so far in the shocks against the Mancunian neighbor, scored twice and restored the advantage to his team after Sancho's equalizer, scoring at close range after several favorable counterattacks (28th ).
The 30-year-old netted his 50 and 51st Premier League goals.
Before giving way to Ilkay Gündogan,
“KDB” delivered a decisive pass from a corner to Ryad Mahrez (68th).
A high class game.

Marhez goes there with his double
Like his friend Kevin De Bruyne, Ryad Marhez saw two faces at Manchester United.
Rather discreet in the first period, the Algerian international volleyed a corner very well taken by De Bruyne and deceived De Gea on his right in the 68th minute.
More and more pressing, Mahrez ends this match with a double.
Well launched in the back of the defense by Gündogan, the top scorer of the Cityzens this season (21 goals) arms an overpowered strike from the left that De Gea can only deflect in his skylight (92nd).

United's defense in dire straits
Outclassed by their hosts, the players of Manchester United were completely powerless against the opposing offensives.
Throughout the game, Ralf Rangnick's men suffered from the blue waves that kept coming back.
Wan Bissaka suffered enormously against Grealish and Bernardo Silva who often found themselves in numerical superiority against him.
Lindelof and Maguire were no better and were often caught out by opposing forwards, including Phil Foden and Kevin De Bruyne.
The Swede, for example, anticipates badly and is eliminated with a sombrero by Foden on De Bruyne's second goal (28th).
Maguire is not outdone and covers on Mahrez's second goal which is not offside (92nd).
Bad day for United's defence...
A midfielder on the street
Going high for the Skyblues, Ralf Rangnick certainly knew that his team was taking risks.
Holder, the French international Paul Pogba positioned himself very high on the ground, in support of Bruno Fernandes in a role of false 9. Pogba had very little influence on the match apart from a nice assist for Sancho (21st ).
Faced with the blue steamroller, Scott McTominay and Fred did not exist and did not manage to relieve their team or even produce play. did not weigh on the game of his team either.
The Reds Devils midfield was transparent.
