Assisted by De Bruyne: Mahrez made it 3-1 for Manchester City vs. Man Utd | VIDEO

After a corner kick, Riyad Mahrez made it 3-1 for Manchester City vs. Manchester United for the Premier League. A magnificent Kevin de Bruyne, with a brace and an assist, and the Algerian executed the ‘Red Devils’ who faced a good part of the game, but whose defensive fragility condemned him to one more defeat in the city derby ( 4-1).

The Algerian had the goal between his eyebrows and it came from Guardiola’s board. With 20 minutes remaining, with the game still alive, De Bruyne put the strategy in motion. He hung a corner well past the far post for Mahrez to come in from outside the area and, with an early bounce, make it 3-1.

A great goal to crown De Bruyne’s great match and to sentence United, who for many years have been Manchester’s weak neighbor and who ended up listening to the rival fans chant the olés towards Guardiola’s. They fell a bathroom in the last ten minutes and the 4-1 granted by the VAR to Mahrez.

City maintains its lead of six points over Liverpool, who have one game in hand, while United say goodbye to fourth place, in favor of Arsenal who, with three games in hand, take a point from them.
