In a thrilling display of skill and determination, Kevin De Bruyne led Manchester City to a stunning 5-2 comeback victory over Crystal Palace. Despite falling behind 2-0 early on, with Eberechi Eze and Chris Richards putting Palace ahead, City bounced back in spectacular fashion. ⚽
De Bruyne, making his first appearance at the Etihad Stadium since announcing his final season at City, fired a free-kick off the post and quickly set up Omar Marmoush to level the game. The momentum continued as he assisted Mateo Kovacic on 47 minutes, followed by Ederson delivering his fourth Premier League assist of the season for James McAtee, and Nico O'Reilly's strike sealed the win. 🔥
City manager Pep Guardiola praised De Bruyne, saying, "The performance of Kevin as he has done for many, many years in many, many games, he played fantastic," underscoring the veteran's impact in the turnaround.
Meanwhile, Arsenal's 1-1 draw with Brentford added another twist to the Premier League race by edging Liverpool closer to the title, highlighting a night full of high drama and intense football action.
