After Manchester City laid to rest a harrowing 3-2 loss at Wolves, beating Sheffield United 2-0 at home to round off a superb 2019 in style, supporters have lauded the partnership of Riyad Mahrez and Kevin De Bruyne – with both players making an influential contribution in their latest victory at the Etihad Stadium.
The away side were denied an opening goal when VAR brought it back for a marginal offside decision, with City playmaker De Bruyne eventually putting Sergio Aguero in on goal to score the first of the game.

Later on, in the dying minutes of a nervy contest, Mahrez and the Belgian linked up for a brilliant second – with the former Leicester City man laying the ball off to De Bruyne who wrong footed Blades ‘keeper Dean Henderson with a superb finish.
Taking this into account, supporters have lauded the partnership of these two players – contemplating the potential of the pair if they link up regularly.
Here’s what they had to say on Twitter.
Best two players in the world
