The game between Manchester City and Arsenal was seen by most as the crucial tie to determine the winner of the Premier League title, and the start of the match did not disappoint thanks to Kevin de Bruyne's goal in the early moments of the game.
The Belgian footballer only needed seven minutes to score his first goal of the day after a brilliant counter-attack led by Erling Haaland, who controlled the ball in midfield and fed his teammate with a precise pass.
Once on the run, De Bruyne put the ball past Aaron Ramsdale with an accurate right-footed shot that slipped into the back of the net after a lovely curl. Have a look at De Bruyne's finish here (Image might be geo-restricted).
IT ONLY TOOK KEVIN DE BRUYNE 7 MINUTES.
