Kevin De Bruyne has signed off from his last home game for Manchester City on a high, as they beat Bournemouth 3-1 to close in on a place in the Champions League next season, with both sides finishing with 10 men.
Recall that Man City were stunned by Crystal Palace in Saturday’s FA Cup final and desperately needed victory against the Cherries to help ensure they finish in the top five in an otherwise miserable season.
Pep Guardiola’s men are now in a strong position heading into Sunday’s last game of the season at Fulham, where a point should be enough to ensure a return to Europe’s top table.
While all eyes were on De Bruyne on his final appearance at the Etihad Stadium, a huge roar greeted the return from injury of Rodri, who last featured back in September.
