One day after signing Erling Haland† Kevin De Bruyne sent a wake-up call with four goals against Wolverhampton Wanderers (5-1) leaving the Eredivisie four points away from Pep Guardiola.
To the Manchester City It will be worth it to win one of the two remaining matches and tie another to call themselves champions in the Premier League for the eighth time, the fourth time since Guardiola arrived.
One ‘hat trick’ de De Bruyne in 20 minutes condemned one of the last three finals left to City to add another title. Three goals that made it clear that he is still the most important football player of this team. He opened the can with a wall to Bernardo Silva and a low left-footed finish, followed by taking advantage of a poor clearance from the Wolves goalkeeper and sealing his hat-trick with a hard shot from the edge of the penalty area.
Three goals with his left foot prevented the 1-1 from Wolves, who dreamed of going to war when they created a deadly counterattack between Raul Jiménez and Pedro Neto that culminated in Leo Dendockerbut never came close to discussing the domain city zen.
At 1-3, City slowed in the second half and temporized the game until De Bruyne’s boots forged the fourth. The Belgian leaked the ball to Phil Foden in the area, he tried to match with Sterling in front of goal, but a defender scrambled the dead ball to De Bruyne to sign the goal poker.
The party was not over and five minutes before the end, Jack GrealishJoão Cancelo and Raheem Sterling together they saw the Englishman push the ball over the goal line and City scored five goals in three of their last four league games.
With the win, City takes three points from Liverpool, who beat Aston Villa on Tuesday. However, the Celestes increase the score difference advantage – the criterion for breaking points on a tie – to +7, so if they win their next game against West Ham United they could pretty much become champions. In a draw against the ‘Hammers’ it would be worth it for them to beat Aston Villa at home on the last day to retain the Premier League title.
