Foreign football A broad smile, a handshake with the soldiers. Kevin De Bruyne scored tonight its first competitiegoal since 22 december last year. Against degradatiekandidaat Cardiff City had Manchester City not the least difficulty (2-0).

And that the virtue was ‘KDB’, the goal which he and the debates opened. When everyone is in a flurry expected, fusilleerde he the Cardiff goalkeeper in the short corner. More precisely, couldn’t. Left or right – it makes him all not from. Of his last fourteen goals in the Premier League, he scored seven (50%) with the left. In degradatiezorgen facing Cardiff proved to be no more than a gezondheidswandeling for the Citizens, who after tonight will be a frontrunner. Sané doubled for peace with a overhoekse bang.

Cardiff seemed ripe for the slaughter, but kept it wonderfully in two tegentreffers. Chances galore, however, for City. In the Etihad, they will definitely not wake up. The leading position is once again a fact. Liverpool counts as a second one point less. Icing on the cake for De Bruyne: he was by the stadionspeaker announced as ‘Man of the Match’.
