The Belgian midfielder has earned tons of plaudits for his goal in Manchester City’s 5-0 thumping of Swansea City.

Another day, another De Bruyne magic. The 26-year-old midfielder added to his top-notch performances this season with yet another spectacular outing against relegation-threatened Swansea City.

With Manchester City taking a early two-goal lead via David Silva and Raheem Sterling, De Bruyne stepped up to add to the misery of the despairing visitors. A pass from Danilo fell to the feet of the former Chelsea man and made no error of the chance by letting fly one of his trademark long-range shots into the top left corner of the Swansea goal.

The goal consequently took De Bruyne’s tally in the league to eight goals with 15 assists also on the side to re-emphasize his immense contribution to Manchester City’s success this season. Amid the numerous validation coming the Belgian’s way, the debate of who - between him and Mohamed Salah - truly deserves the PFA Player of the Year has sprung up once again.
