Manchester City’s Christmas crackers

Kevin De Bruyne vs Bournemouth (April 2)

Man City had won just one of their preceding six Premier League games heading to the Vitality Stadium in April, but they produced an emphatic performance to brush aside Bournemouth 4-0.

And it was their second goal which was particularly special, scored by Kevin De Bruyne.

David Silva regained possession on the edge of the box and found Sergio Aguero, who brilliantly chipped it up towards Silva, who then expertly laid it off with his left foot towards the onrushing De Bruyne, who excellently finished on the volley past Artur Boruc. Simple.

It was a wonderful goal involving some nice, intricate football, one touch passes, and then a well-placed volley to finish.
