Kevin De Bruyne dominated the man-of-the-match with a magnificent start to the match for Manchester City's 2-0 victory over Cardiff – before admitting it was a coincidence!
The Belgian made a superb performance in all areas and allowed Pep Guardiola's team to make a perfect start by scoring from a sharp angle after just five minutes. Leroy Sane's efforts were on the eve of victory.

The dominant victory takes City back to the top of the Premier League standings one point ahead of rival Liverpool, with just six games to go.
Despite opening the KDB score, he admitted later that the goal was slightly lucky.
"I did not really mean the goal, in the end, everything counts," said De Bruyne.
"I wanted to give the keeper a hard time but it does not matter.
"I think we dominated, we did very well."
Interviews
Reflecting on his performances, De Bruyne said he focused on improving and reconquering match by game after a season marked by two long layoffs.
"I will not compare myself to last year. My season has been very long, "added the midfielder.
"I had to work so hard three or four times to come back. I will not have the level of last year, but it is not for me, but to win titles.
"It's one game at a time. For me, it was difficult because my goal was to get in shape to help them team up. "
