Kevin De Bruyne of Manchester City has made Premier League history by climbing to the second spot on the all-time assists list, joining Cesc Fabregas. With 111 assists to his name, he now only trails behind Ryan Giggs. Despite missing half of the current season due to hamstring surgery, De Bruyne has already notched up nine assists, showcasing his exceptional playmaking abilities.
In the 2019-20 season, De Bruyne equaled Thierry Henry’s record for most assists in a single Premier League campaign, both tallying 20 assists. However, his ultimate goal is to surpass Giggs’ record of 162 assists, although he currently lags 51 assists behind the Manchester United legend.
De Bruyne’s future at Manchester City remains uncertain, with only one year left on his contract and the club’s tendency to offer shorter deals to players over 30. Nevertheless, if he extends his stay, he could have a shot at rewriting Premier League history.
Manchester City continues to rewrite the history books in English football with their latest triumph against Fulham. The 4-0 victory at Craven Cottage not only propels them closer to a fourth consecutive Premier League title but also marks two remarkable records broken.
Josko Gvardiol’s unexpected brace, complemented by goals from Phil Foden and Julian Alvarez, sealed City’s victory. Despite missing a penalty opportunity, Alvarez’s late strike secured a resounding win.
City’s dominance extends beyond this single match. They’ve been unbeaten in the league since December 6, a testament to their consistency. Moreover, their win against Fulham marks their 16th consecutive victory against the club, setting a new record for the longest winning streak against an opponent in English football history.
Additionally, City’s prowess in away matches against Fulham is unmatched, with 16 consecutive games seeing them find the net—a Premier League record against a single opponent away from home.
