‘We’re back’, ‘Europe is not ready’ – Man City fans hails ‘phenomenal’ star after thrashing Leeds

Manchester City fans have praised Kevin De Bruyne’s ‘phenomenal’ performance as Manchester City recorded a stunning 7-0 win over Leeds.

City ran riot against Marcelo’s Bielsa side as De Bruyne bagged twice to send them four points clear at the top of the table.

Goals from Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, Riyad Mahrez, John Stones and Nathan Ake also ensured City fans enjoyed a memorable night at the Etihad.

But it was De Bruyne’s showing, that saw him score his first goals in two months, that stood out, including his second – a thunderous strike from the edge of the box that left goalkeeper Illan Meslier no chance.

A tad sloppy on the ball at times, but overall, a brilliant display from a generational midfielder who is a victim of his own impossibly high standards.

Fantastic energy and movement throughout, proving untameable and looking his usual self in advanced areas.

After Man City’s 7-0 victory over Leeds, we took to Twitter to see what fans made of De Bruyne’s performance.

Here’s a selection of what the fans had to say:

Great performance king👑
