Cheeky scamp

You have now unlocked greatness.

Kevin de Bruyne knows his stuff.

The beguiling Belgian has started 2016/17 like a mansion on fire and perplexed the hell out of Bournemouth this afternoon.

Fresh from bossing the Manchester Derby and romping about in the Champions League, the midfielder scored the first goal in City’s annihilation of the Cherries.

Given the angle and distance of his free, the Bournemouth wall expected a curling effort to go up and over.

De Bruyne had it all figured out.

That’s how it’s done.

That’s lovely gravy.

City are starting to hum. De Bruyne is their driving force.

The fans, of course, are in awe.
