Mateo Kovacic stunned fans on social media following an incredible sequence during Sheffield United vs. Manchester City.
Kovacic joined Man City from Chelsea for £25 million earlier in the summer, with the player already making a big impact at his new team.
He has started his side's last two games as he starred in midfield against Newcastle United and delivered a stellar outing at Bramall Lane last Sunday.
The Blues beat Sheff United 2-1, with the Croatian going viral on X after a stunning moment in the 19th minute of the Premier League clash.
Rodri played a ball to Kovacic who took a couple of touches before making a driving run at Sheff United's defence.
He skipped a challenge then continued his burst before winning a foul just outside the box.
Kovacic's run against Sheff United sent social media into overdrive.
One X user wrote: "He looks like he’s been in this city team for years. It’s scary."
A second added: "That’s what I was saying. Another 8 who can break the lines so fast."
A third commented: "Chelsea literally sold their best midfielder."
