Haaland Set Up De Bruyne's Stunning Goal Against Arsenal After Brilliant Hold-Up Play
In a moment of magic, Kevin De Bruyne scored a stunning goal to put Manchester City ahead against Arsenal.
In a role reversal, Erling Haaland provided the assist for Manchester City's opening goal in the seventh minute of their crucial Premier League clash at the Etihad, with Kevin De Bruyne being the scorer.
John Stones played a long pass to find Haaland, who expertly controlled the ball and held off Rob Holding to keep possession.
Haaland then passed the ball to De Bruyne, who made a run towards the goal and unleashed a sensational low strike that found its way into the back of the net.

Fans online loved the link-up between Haaland and De Bruyne for Man City's opening goal.
One Twitter user wrote: "Class hold up play by Haaland! Great finish from KDB!"
A second tweeted: "This is such a beautiful goal."
A third sarcastically added: "Haaland is just a goal poacher though? Doesn’t link the play apparently?"
A fourth said: "These two are an absolute cheat code."
Another commented: "That touch from Haaland is a joke by the way."
De Bruyne seems to have a particular liking for playing against Arsenal, as he has scored a total of 7 goals against them throughout his career - more than any other club he has faced.
