Kevin De Bruyne is adamant he has broken Thierry Henry’s Premier League assist record.
The Man City playmaker scored twice and assisted one goal in his side’s final-day 5-0 win over Norwich on Sunday.
That assist put De Bruyne level with Henry’s record (20) from the 2002/03 campaign.
In a 3-0 win at Arsenal last December, De Bruyne harshly had an assist taken off him for a Raheem Sterling goal.
The 29-year-old’s cross took a faint deflection off a Gunners defender before reaching Sterling, who tapped the ball in.
Speaking after the Norwich thumping, De Bruyne appeared to reference that goal and another one.
He said: “I have got two more assists. You guys took two away from me.
“I’m still claiming that one. For me I was already there [level with Henry’s record].”
De Bruyne, who also scored 13 league goals this season, came second to Jordan Henderson as the Liverpool captain won the PFA Player of the Year award.
While Henderson’s stats were nowhere near the Belgium midfielder, he led Liverpool to a first top-flight title in 30 years.
Only Barcelona star Lionel Messi (112) has more league assists than De Bruyne (101) since his arrival in England in 2012.
