Watch As Manchester City Captain Kevin De Bruyne Scores A Breathtaking Equalizer Against Crystal Palace With A Stunning Goal
The Belgian maestro was omitted from Pep Guardiola’s starting lineup for the victory over Aston Villa earlier in the week. However, he returned to the squad as captain for Saturday’s early kick-off at Selhurst Park.
The game began as a nightmare for the champions, who are aiming for an unprecedented fourth consecutive English top-flight title. Their aspirations took a hit when Jean-Philippe Mateta stunned them by giving Palace a surprise lead just three minutes into the match.
Nevertheless, the hosts’ advantage was short-lived as De Bruyne swiftly leveled the score in spectacular fashion after 10 minutes. He received a pass from Jack Grealish on the left, cut inside, and unleashed an unstoppable shot into the top corner of the net.
Heading into Saturday’s game, Manchester City occupied the third spot in the Premier League standings. They were aware that a win would temporarily elevate them to at least second place and potentially even the top spot if they managed to secure victory by a margin of four goals or more.
