Pep Guardiola has Kevin De Bruyne disappointment after four-goal show vs Wolves

 

Kevin de Bruyne produced a brilliant four-goal display to sink Wolves - and manager Pep Guardiola said he was "disappointed" he didn't score a fifth! The brilliant Belgian went within an ace of matching the Premier League goalscoring record in a game when he twanged a post late in the game, after scoring a hat-trick inside 17 first-half minutes and then adding a fourth in the second half.

And it was that miss, which cost him a place alongside five goalscoring greats including former City teammate Sergio Aguero, that had Guardiola frustrated: "I am disappointed for him because he missed the fifth goal, the post.

"What can I say? In the second part of the league (he) was beyond perfect. He is always so generous and has the sense to make an assist but I think this season he also has the sense to be prolific and score goals.
