#1 Kevin De Bruyne was too hot to handle for the hosts
Kevin De Bruyne, after a frustrating 2018/19 season where he suffered a string of injuries, has gotten off to a flier this campaign. With just four games into Premier League season, De Bruyne already has five assists to his name. He is undoubtedly one of the best midfielders on the planet at the moment.
Looking as fit as ever and raring to go, De Bruyne is translating his fitness into a rich vein of attacking return. The 28-year-old has continued his Manchester City form with the national side, making Scotland his unfortunate victims.
On the night, the playmaker looked unstoppable, immaculately pinging the ball forward at will. His command on the passes and awareness of movements of other players was sumptuous, and his telepathic relationship with Romelu Lukaku was there for everybody to witness.
In his masterclass at Hampden Park, Kevin De Bruyne assisted three goals and scored one, too. Needless to say, he got the match ball as well.
