Man City new boy De Bruyne on target as Premier League stars dominate Belgium v Bosnia clash

Kevin De Bruyne celebrated his big-money move to Manchester City by getting himself on the scoresheet for Belgium on Thursday night.


The £54.5million signing produced a beauty of a goal in 43rd minute as the Red Devils came from behind to defeat Bosnia & Herzegovina 3-1 in Euro2016 qualifying.

Former City striker Edin Dzeko, now with AS Roma, opened the scoring for Bosnia in Brussels with a 15th minute header before Manchester United's Marouane Fellaini levelled for the home team with a header of his own from De Bruyne's cross.

The new City signing then showed why the Premier League club paid so much money for him when he thundered home from range just before the break.

It would not have been a Belgium win without a goal from Chelsea maestro Eden Hazard which came in the for of a 79th minute penalty to wrap up proceedings and allow Marc Wilmots' outfit to remain second on the Group B table, three points behind Wales, ahead of Sunday's trip to Cyprus.
