Jack Grealish picked out De Bruyne on the left-wing.

The Belgian magician quickly got his head up and sent a teasing cross into the box.

The ball floated perfectly to Erling Haaland who simply could not miss from a few yards out. Watch the goal below...

De Bruyne has become the fifth player in Premier League history to reach 100 assists.

Ryan Giggs recorded 162 assists during his Premier League career and is well out in front.

Cesc Fabregas (111), Wayne Rooney (103) and Frank Lampard (102) make up the rest of the top five.

De Bruyne reached 100 Premier League assists in just 237 matches. He managed the feat much quicker than Giggs, Fabregas, Giggs and Rooney.

De Bruyne made it assist number 101 when he set up Jack Grealish's goal later in the match.

The 31-year-old went on to play the full 90 minutes as City cruised to a dominant 4-1 victory.

City remain in second in the Premier League and have closed the gap to Arsenal at the top of the table to five points.

Arsenal could go eight points clear once again, though, should they defeat Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday afternoon.
