Belgian international Kevin de Bruyne saw his Man City side slump to a surprise home defeat to West Ham in his first Premier League start for the Etihad Stadium side and has demanded more of his title chasing club according to Goal.com.
West Ham took a two goal lead after barely half an hour, thanks to goals from Victor Moses and Diafra Sakho, and that left Manuel Pellegrini’s side with too big a mountain to climb.
“We tried everything to put pressure on them,”
“In the second half they didn’t create one good chance. Maybe our last pass wasn’t good but we didn’t play badly.
“We didn’t start well or defend well for their two chances. We have to learn from this.”
