Man City vs Arsenal live: When Kevin De Bruyne ran the show at the Emirates in December 2019

Kevin de Bruyne was at the heart of everything for Man City when Pep Guardiola's side made the trip to the Emirates in December 2019. Kevin De Bruyne opened the scoring on the night just 89 seconds into the game when he smashed the ball into the net after Gabriel Jesus crossed from the left. Kevin De Bruyne then turned provider when he crossed for Raheem Sterling to tap the ball into an empty net on 15 minutes to double the visitors' lead. 

A masterful first-half display was then rounded off five minutes before the half-time whistle when Kevin De Bruyne grabbed his second goal on the night. The midfielder latched onto a pass from Phil Foden before driving at the Arsenal defence and slotting the ball into the corner of the goal with his left foot. The Premier League live game between Arsenal vs Man City in December 2019 ended 3-0 in favour of Pep Guardiola's side.
