The assist was provided by De Bruyne and the partnership of him and Haaland was definitely missed by the City fans.

Youngsters such as Rico Lewis, Shea Charles, Jadel Katongo, and Morgan Elliot Rogers were included in the starting XI and were given a chance to step up. They were excellent on the defensive line and kept a clean sheet with the help of senior squad players – Sergio Gomez and Stefan Ortega Moreno.
