Fans enjoyed Kevin De Bruyne’s stunning free-kick that Manchester City went on to beat Leicester City 1-0 on Saturday.
Jack Grealish won a free kick on the edge of the Foxes’ penalty area four minutes into the second half, and Belgian De Bruyne took it upon himself.
His precision shot hit the post and went in, leaving Leicester goalkeeper Danny Ward helpless in preventing the Belgian’s goal – which eventually became the winner.
The result lifted Man City to the top of the Premier League – at least until Arsenal face Nottingham Forest on Sunday afternoon.
Kevin De Bruyne’s free kick early in the second half received a lot of praise on Twitter
A fan responded to the goal by tweeting: ‘Kevin De Bruyne is the best midfielder in the world!!! No one can compare to him,” while a second added: “De Bruyne is just an unreal man”
“Just an incredible footballer, De Bruyne. It doesn’t matter who he plays for, I just love to watch him play football,” was another reaction to the Belgian’s perfect attack.
Twitter users were quick to praise De Bruyne’s performance, especially the winning goal
Another tweet read, “That’s absolutely incredible De Bruyne,” while another City fan wrote “Kevin the Wizard” and “King De Bruyne,” accompanied by pale blue hearts and royal crowns.
Manchester City fans were impressed by the goal, as were the TV pundits on BT Sport
The experts were also impressed by De Bruyne’s winner.
Rio Ferdinand told BT Sport: “That man (De Bruyne) makes the difference, whether it’s scoring goals or scoring free kicks. City waited a moment and it came.’
Meanwhile, fellow BT colleague Joe Cole said: ‘De Bruyne delivers when it matters. He is an incredible technician, he is a joy to watch. It wasn’t a vintage Man City performance, but they did enough.’
Manchester City are turning their attention to another Champions League game against Sevilla on Wednesday, ahead of their next league game at home against Fulham next week.
