Manchester City supporters continue to rave about Kevin De Bruyne after the Belgian superstar laid down an early marker in their gripping title showdown with Liverpool on Sunday afternoon. It took De Bruyne only five minutes to open the scoring with Premier League honours on the line.
Starting the 90 minutes separated by a single point, City knew victory would open up a four-point advantage with seven games to play and Liverpool could also leapfrog the champions. De Bruyne drew first blood and his strike was promptly followed by an equaliser from Liverpool forward Diogo Jota.
All in all that made for a pulsating start to the game. City regained the lead shortly before half-time thanks to a Gabriel Jesus strike.

Beyond this mouth-watering Premier League showdown, City and Liverpool have also drawn each other in the FA Cup semi-finals and might yet meet in the Champions League showpiece event, too. However, there is important work to get through first this afternoon.
Anticipation for the ongoing game had gathered pace throughout recent days. But while De Bruyne only needed a few minutes to make his mark, his deflected strike which wrong-footed Allison came after England forward Raheem Sterling had already passed up a golden opportunity.
Sterling's miss was atoned for by his in-form Belgian teammate during the same phase of play. Here is a selection of comments made by City supporters;
