PL: De Bruyne Inspires City's Comeback In Thrilling 5-2 Win Over Crystal Palace
Kevin De Bruyne: Kevin De Bruyne marked his Etihad return in stunning fashion, inspiring Manchester City to a breathtaking 5-2 comeback win over Crystal Palace that reignited their Champions League push.
On an afternoon that began with shock as Palace stunned the hosts early, racing into a 2-0 lead through Eberechi Eze and Chris Richards. Eze nearly added a third, only to be denied by the Premier League’s first use of semi-automated VAR, ruling him offside.
But in his first home appearance since announcing his summer departure, De Bruyne turned the tide. The Belgian talisman kickstarted City’s revival with a sublime 33rd-minute free-kick and played a key role in Omar Marmoush’s equaliser just three minutes later.
