09.10.2022 - 23:07 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne overtook Arsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp in the list of all-time Premier League assist on Saturday against Southampton.
Pep Guardiola's men look unstoppable recently having notched 11 goals in their last two matches before the visit of the Saints this weekend. Joao Cancelo opened the scoring for the Blues on 20 minutes with a fine strike before Phil Foden added a second just 12 minutes later.
Just after the interval Riyad Mahrez put the game beyond doubt, netting City's third of the afternoon. World football has become accustomed to seeing Erling Haaland find the back of the net and he would not be denied, adding City's fourth with 25 minutes to go.

The Norwegian's 20th goal of the campaign on October 8 was cause for celebration at the Etihad this afternoon however De Bruyne managed a personal feat of his own in Manchester. His assist for Foden's goal was his 95th in the English top flight.
Last weekend, he moved above Steven Gerrard and David Silva but, after his exploits on Saturday, he moved above Bergkamp into fifth overall. Next in the Belgian playmaker's sights will be Frank Lampard who managed 102 in his career at West Ham, Chelsea and City.
De Bruyne still has some distance to go if he wishes to become the all time goal provider in Premier League history. The current leader is Ryan Giggs who managed 162 assists during his time at Manchester United.
