Kevin De Bruyne insists his celebration at Wolves was not done to imitate Erling Haaland - his soon to be teammate at Manchester City.
The Belgian enjoyed the most prolific night of his Premier League career, scoring four at Molineux and leaving with the match ball as City saw off Wolves 5-1 to remain in control of the title race. De Bruyne opened the scoring within seven minutes and had completed his hat-trick before the half hour mark.
His third, a rasping drive from outside the area with his left foot, flew past Jose Sa and the midfielder reeled away before pulling out a never before seen meditation gesture. It is the same pose often used by Haaland, who scores with regularity in the Bundesliga.
