"Why Kevin De Bruyne's 'wrong-footed' hat-trick was one of the best displays in Premier League history". At the end of the season, Kevin was awarded with the PFA Player's Player Of The Year award. De Bruyne makes his mastery look so simple and he even describes it that way too. “The ball came with the bounce, I tried to keep composed and don’t lean back too much,” he said of his first goal. Bernd Leno pulled off a magnificent save to deny the Belgium international a hat-trick with his first-time curving effort from 25-yards before half-time, but by that point De Bruyne had denied Arsenal anything in the encounter but ignominy.
