De Bruyne stars as Manchester City edge Crystal Palace 4-2

Kevin De Bruyne’s masterclass guided Manchester City to a 4-2 win over Crystal Palace, keeping Pep Guardiola’s side in the title race.

Despite Jean-Philippe Mateta’s early opener for Palace, De Bruyne’s turned the tide in City’s favor.

 

The Belgian maestro netted two stunning goals, assisting both Rico Lewis and Erling Haaland, to secure a vital win for the reigning champions.

Guardiola’s decision to rest De Bruyne and Haaland in City’s previous game against Aston Villa paid off, as both players returned to the starting lineup with renewed vigor.

De Bruyne’s performance silenced any doubts about his form, while Haaland’s goal marked his 30th of the season.
