It only took KEVIN DE BRUYNE 17 minutes to surpass Antony’s season-long assist record.
With just one goal and two assists in 21 appearances this season, the Manchester United disaster has had difficulty in the closing third.
Kevin De Bruyne produced an assist within 17 minutes of coming on
Antony has not scored or assisted yet this season
Due to injury, De Bruyne, 23, had not played since the first day of the season. However, he made his FA Cup comeback against Huddersfield in the third round.
After coming off the bench in the 57th minute, he demonstrated what City had been lacking in just 17 minutes.
After playing a one-two with Oscar Bobb, the Belgian tipped the ball to Jeremy Doku, who scored with the back of the net.
After just 82 minutes of football this season, De Bruyne already has two assists.
Despite this, Antony has played over 1200 minutes across all competitions without contributing a goal.
Doku, Julian Alvarez, Ben Jackson’s own goal, and two goals from Phil Foden saw City demolish Huddersfield 5-0.
The reigning winners, along with Chelsea, Tottenham, and Liverpool—who defeated Arsenal 2-0—are now in the hat for the fourth round.
The draw will take place on Monday at 7:50 p.m. on ITV, when the team from Wigan takes on Manchester United.
As the 21st team in the Premier League, City will be looking to avoid a matchup with a rival team.
