Kevin De Bruyne says Manchester City's aggression in the second half at Arsenal was crucial to their three points at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday.
De Bruyne had given City the lead, arguably against the run of play, with a sublime lob over Aaron Ramsdale, but Bukayo Saka levelled from the penalty spot to send the sides in level at the break. Pep Guardiola described City's first half tactics as 'horrible', and said he made changes to his system before Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland sealed a vital win.
Explaining just what those changes were, De Bruyne said there were tactical and mental changes that allowed City's quality to prove the difference in a game of few margins.
