Kevin De Bruyne has jokingly thanked on Instagram the bitter Arsenal fans who threw bottles at him during Manchester City's statement 3-1 win at the Emirates.
The Belgian midfielder, 31, was the orchestrator behind City's seismic victory on Wednesday to move them top of the Premier League table, scoring his side's opening goal and registering an assist for Erling Haaland's strike which wrapped up the win. De Bruyne didn't just fend off his opponents either, as the City star had multiple objects thrown at him while he walked around the pitch after being substituted in the closing stages.
A defiant De Bruyne, who was also involved in a brief altercation with Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, was seen laughing in the face of angry home fans and maintained his humorous perspective after the match. "Beer anyone?" the 31-year-old asked on Instagram alongside two photos of the incident - which pundits described as "disgusting" - before adding: "Thanks!"
