Just how good is Kevin DeBruyne? Scoring the opening goal of the game he looks so comfortable. Always reliable to find that defence splitting pass, he hasn’t been at his best in the last couple of games.

Despite that, he still provides a threat to the opposition. Assisting or scoring against some of the biggest names for Manchester City, he now adds Arsenal to his scalp list.

Manchester United, PSG, Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs, Napoli and Barca were all on that list before this game.

It’s not just KDB though, it’s the whole team. from 1-11 the players have upped their game, even from last season.

If that wasn’t enough to scare the opposition, then look at who came off the bench! Bernardo Silva, Gundogan and Gabby Jesus could get starts in most, if not all, Premier League sides. The depth is embarrassing, and that’s without Kompany and Mendy.
