Manchester City and Kevin De Bruyne know how to time a run perfectly, even if their long-lasting relationship is coming to an end. The Belgian’s dart into the box and clinical finish secured a fourth Premier League win in a row, at the expense of Wolves, to put City into third place and a step closer to qualifying for the Champions League.
City will be as pleased with the hard-fought victory, inspired by a humorous Neil Warnock team talk at training on Thursday, as Wolves are disappointed to leave with nothing. They rattled the woodwork twice and were the more dangerous team inside the box but when it comes to critical moments, there are few better in world football than De Bruyne as his experience outweighs his physical decline.
