De Bruyne extends incredible PL record during Man City comeback 🎯

Manchester City have completed an incredible first-half comeback against Crystal Palace which began with a trademark Kevin de Bruyne reducer.

The outgoing playmaker sparked a resurgence for the Premier League champions with a superbly struck free kick just three minutes before Omar Marmoush's leveller.

In doing so, De Bruyne extended his own incredible record in the top flight of goals scored outside the box since Pep Guardiola's arrival at the Etihad Stadium.

Most goals scored from outside the box in the Premier League since Pep Guardiola took charge of Manchester City in 2016:

◉ 28 - Kevin De Bruyne
◎ 21 - Harry Kane
◎ 20 - James Ward-Prowse
◎ 20 - James Maddison
