On the half-hour mark the away side took the lead through Yevhen Konoplyanka only for a goalmouth scramble to result in Wilfried Bony’s shot taking a deflection off defender Adil Rami and squirming into the back of the net six minutes later.
In the second half both teams looked content to sit back and settle for a point, in the first minute of injury time City snatched a fortuitous win.
Yaya Toure played a wide ball out to De Bruyne, who dribbled into the box and curled in a wonderful left-footed shot to enhance City’s hopes of reaching the knockout stages.
Here are some of the best reactions from Twitter :

I waste my weekdays every year to watch this trash in the hopes that it’ll get better one year. Never does #mcfc — Evan Maldonado (@evantmaldonado) October 21, 2015
If we play like that on Sunday in the Derby we’ll get annihilated. Yaya is too frustrating to watch. #MCFC — Tom Rawson Grant (@TomRGrant) October 21, 2015
Raheem Stirling has been beyond awful tonight. Clueless and inept #MCFC don’t deserve a draw — Charles Crawford (@CharlesCrawford) October 21, 2015

That game ended up like 2 pissed up heavyweights boxers slugging it out in a pub car park!! 3pts that’s all that matters #MCFC — Walter Smith (@mancitysmith) October 21, 2015
What a superb finish from KDB. Pellegrini tactical masterclass, or sheer luck? I think the latter. #MCFC — Ben (@BJE_23) October 21, 2015
Jesus #Navas…. Who are you and what do you do? An absolute NOTHING player if ever there was one. Stealing a living #MCFC ??? — ⚽Conor⚽ (@CMCQ80) October 21, 2015
