The Belgian departed Manchester City in the summer and his contributions will never be forgotten, but their fans have a new hero to adore in the shape of Tijjani Reijnders.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old Dutchman delivered an all-action performance, contributing a goal and an assist, as City showed they mean business by thrashing Wolves at Molineux.<\/p>\n

Reijnders is only the second City player to both score and provide a goal on his Premier League debut, after Sergio Aguero, and if he achieves even half of what the Argentina striker did, he will be a sure-fire hit for the club.<\/p>\n

“It’s a great start,” Reijnders told BBC Match of the Day. “Very happy with an assist and a goal and a very good win. It is a great start and we have to keep going now.”<\/p>\n

Boss Pep Guardiola said of the performance: “Really good. Lovely guy and has made an impact from day one. His pace, he can help with the holding midfield.<\/p>\n

“He can make runs inside the pockets and the spaces that sometimes we allow defenders to create.<\/p>\n

“At Milan he was exceptional and with the national team. We knew he is a top signing for the coming years for City.”<\/p>\n

Former England striker Alan Shearer told BBC Match of the Day: “He was sensational, it was almost the perfect midfield performance. It was incredible. He controlled the game at his pace.<\/p>\n

“He is an absolute nightmare to play against because he is always on the move.<\/p>\n

“The way he ran was a key part for Man City, he just kept going and going and Wolves didn’t have the answer. He was brilliant at it, they couldn’t cope with him.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
