Man City attacker De Bruyne happy to get on scoresheet after Crystal Palace win

Manchester City attacker Kevin de Bruyne was delighted to get on the scoresheet for victory over Crystal Palace.

This season, De Bruyne has hit the woodwork a whopping nine times in the league - three more than any other player - and chalked up another against Palace with a free-kick that grazed the bar.

"It's always nice to score," he told Sky Sport. "I've not really been looking, I've been doing my thing but I know I've hit the bar and the post a lot and one more today.

"It's just the way it goes. One time it will go in and the other time you will miss. You just keep trying and at the end everything is going to be alright.

"It's just unlucky. It's always close and sometimes it just goes in off the post but this year it has always been out.

"The accuracy is there, you just need a little bit more."
