Kevin De Bruyne was not the only Belgian present on the scoresheet for the Citizens, since the young Romeo Lavia was also called up by Pep Guardiola for this meeting. A nice birthday present for the young midfielder who celebrated his 18th birthday this Thursday, January 6 and who benefited from a few minutes of play by returning in the 83rd minute. Kevin De Bruyne was on the pitch for 65 minutes.
Opposed to 5th in League Two, De Bruyne and his partners only took a few minutes to gain the advantage by Bernardo Silva (14th, 0-1). The Red Devil distinguished himself before the half hour by allowing Gabriel Jesus to double the bet (28th, 0-2). Ilkay Gundogan fed a little more the scorer in the second half (59th, 0-3), before Harry McKirdy saved the honor for Swindon (78th, 1-3). Cole Palmer was in charge of giving the score its final appearance (82nd, 1-4).
