On April 18, 2017, Manchester City faced off against Manchester United in the Premier League. The game was a high-stakes affair as both teams were fighting for top spot in the league table.

In the 66th minute of the match, Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne found himself on the end of a long ball from his right-back, which he then passed to his teammate Ilkay Gundogan. But instead of passing it back to De Bruyne, Gundogan chose to play a dangerous cross towards the far post.

The pass was deflected into the path of Manchester United defender Eric Bailly, who tried to clear it but could not do so. As Bailly attempted to make a clearance, Manchester City winger Leroy Sane managed to get his head up and meet the ball at the perfect moment.

He headed the ball into the net, leaving Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea with no chance. It was a stunning goal that caught everyone by surprise, and it was later voted as one of the best goals of the season by various football websites.

The assist was a testament to the quality of Mahrez's skill and the chemistry between him and his teammates. It was also a reminder of how important it is for a team to have a strong midfield presence, especially when playing against a top-tier opponent like Manchester United.

The assist also helped Manchester City secure a crucial win over Manchester United, which put them two points ahead of them in the league table. It was a memorable night for Mahrez and the rest of Manchester City's players, and it will be remembered as one of the greatest moments in Premier League history.
