Pundits marvel at Kevin de Bruyne's long-range stunner against Arsenal for Man City in win

Pundits have marvelled at Kevin de Bruyne's goal that opened the scoring in Manchester City's title-deciding clash against league leaders Arsenal on Wednesday.

The Gunners had sought to press fiercely during the early exchanges at the Etihad and were made to pay for their ambition as De Bruyne opened the scoring after just seven minutes.

A long-pass from Ruben Dias was brought down on the halfway line by the Premier League's leading goalscorer Erling Haaland.

The striker then rolled the ball into the path of De Bruyne, who ran through Arsenal's defence before hitting his shot low and hard past Aaron Ramsdale from the edge of the box.
