#17 | Kevin De Bruyne - 2019/20 Performances

[MCFC1993]

35 apps, 33 goal contributions, 13 goals, 20 assists. He's been robbed of a couple this season as well.

Unbelievable player. Those stats could be even better next season.

Here’s the assist that was taken off him

He should definitely get the assist for Mahrez today, it was Kev's last touch not the defender's.

 

[Easy]

Here’s the assist that was taken off him

he should be taking this to court. I mentioned in the past Fabregas did it and got the assist credited to him.

Debruyne got the last touch before Marhez scored

If he got the last touch they will award it to him. Opta will look at it from 100 different angles and decide, but the only thing that matters is it's his touch.

That came off the heel of the Norwich defender, am afraid. The Arsenal assist is the real scandal here.

 

[RobertVentura]

After Kun's injury, it was always going to be so much harder for Kev to break the record.

 

[WestGorton]

I thought we should rest him for Europe. I stand corrected.

If the final touch (as defined in bold) is deflected by an opposition player, the initiator is only given a goal assist if the receiving player was likely to receive the ball without the deflection having taken place
​

By their own sodding rules it is an assist.
