De Bruyne inspires Man City to record-extending win vs Spurs
MANCHESTER, England — Arms wrapped around his head, Kevin De Bruyne was writhing in agony on the turf.
A stamp by Dele Alli, the Tottenham dynamo prone to hot-headed eruptions, typified the rough treatment faced by De Bruyne’s Manchester City on Saturday.
Tottenham just couldn’t cope against the exhilarating force of a team which is steamrollering opponents and the English football records.
De Bruyne’s right ankle was fortunate to escape serious damage being inflicted by the thrust of Alli’s boot. Alli was fortunate to avoid a red card, and De Bruyne was seething.
