HISTORY! Kevin de Bruyne has leapfrogged Arsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp into the Premier League’s top five all-time assist providers... and the Belgian has also overtaken David Silva to become Man City’s all-time assister

Kevin de Bruyne became the Premier League's fifth all-time assist provider with a lovely weighted through ball to Phil Foden against Southampton.

The assist was number 95 for De Bruyne in the Premier League and saw the Belgian overtake Arsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp into the top five.

It also put the 31-year-old on top of the pile for Manchester City assists - overtaking City legend David Silva for top spot.
