Manchester City\u2019s Kevin de Bruyne has etched his name in Premier League history, becoming just the fifth player to record 100 assists in the competition. The Belgian midfielder achieved the feat after providing a pinpoint cross to teammate Erling Haaland, who nodded home Manchester City\u2019s first goal in their clash against Southampton on Saturday.<\/p>\n
De Bruyne\u2019s achievement is all the more impressive when considering the elite company he now joins. He joins a group of legendary Premier League players who have also recorded 100 assists or more, including Ryan Giggs, Cesc Fabregas, Wayne Rooney, and Frank Lampard.<\/p>\n
The 29-year-old has been an instrumental figure for Manchester City since his arrival from Wolfsburg in 2015, and his creativity and vision have been key components in the club\u2019s domestic success in recent years. De Bruyne has consistently been one of the most productive players in the Premier League, having been directly involved in 132 goals in his 201 appearances for Manchester City.<\/p>\n
As Manchester City continues their push for the Premier League title, De Bruyne will undoubtedly play a crucial role in their quest for further success, and fans will be eagerly anticipating the next milestone the Belgian star reaches in his illustrious career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
