Kevin De Bruyne: Man City star equals Premier League assist record against Norwich

Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne has equalled the Premier League assist record with his 20th of the season against Norwich City.

The Belgian put his name in the history books with his latest decisive contribution for Pep Guardiola’s side against Norwich.

The midfielder came into the final game of the campaign one behind Thierry Henry, who created 20 goals for Arsenal in 2002/03.

Level with Mesut Ozil on 19, De Bruyne has now drawn level with the Frenchman.

And De Bruyne assisted Raheem Sterling to make it 3-0 to the hosts at the Etihad.

Rather than surpass Henry, De Bruyne was forced to settle for a tie, but did add two goals of his own in the 5-0 victory.

  • Thierry Henry (Arsenal, 2002/03) – 20 assists
