# Manchester City: Fans gush over De Bruyne pass vs Stoke back in 2017

**Responding to a post by Manchester City’s[official club account](https://twitter.com/khairyizuddin/status/1241740891334660096?s=21), many Sky Blues supporters have been gushing over Kevin De Bruyne’s sensational through ball to Leroy Sane against Stoke City back in 2017 – lauding the pass as ‘[out of this world](https://twitter.com/khairyizuddin/status/1241740891334660096?s=21)‘ and ‘[mind-blowing](https://twitter.com/adeyemii___/status/1241745553773547520?s=21)‘.**

The Belgian, who was a key player for City during their famous Centurions campaign, provided an example of just how influential he was to that team, who became the first-ever Premier League side to reach [100 league points](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/man-city-centurions-decade-series-17265078).

Thumping visitors Stoke 5-2, De Bruyne opted to supply a stunning pass mid-way through the opposition half to make it six – with winger Sane going on to squeeze the ball past Jack Butland much to the delight of home supporters.
