Kevin De Bruyne has said his impudent free-kick against Cardiff City was not a fluke.

The Manchester City midfielder got his side off to a great start in the 2-0 win when he rolled his free-kick under the Cardiff wall.

When asked about the goal after the game, the Belgian revealed City's coaches had done plenty of research about Cardiff's free-kicks.

"They told us before the game (about the wall) and we know all the details," Kevin revealed.

"The wall was not nine metres (away) for me so it was very close so I thought it would be easier to hit it under rather than over!"
