    MANCHESTER, England -- Kevin De Bruyne scored a clever free kick and played a part in the other three goals as Manchester City beat Bournemouth 4-0 with another scintillating attacking display, maintaining its 100 percent start to the English Premier League on Saturday. http://www.broncosrookiestore.com/Broncos-Karl-Mecklenburg-Jersey/ .City manager Pep Guardiola labeled De Bruyne as one of the best players he has managed after seeing the Belgium midfielder inspire the team to a fifth straight league win and a club-record eighth victory to open the season.When we talk about (Lionel) Messi, maybe he can sit alone in the table, with no one else allowed, said Guardiola, a former Barcelona and Bayern Munich coach. But in the table beside, Kevin can sit there.The creative force behind Citys 2-1 win at Manchester United last weekend, De Bruyne ran the game at Etihad Stadium, too, opening the scoring by shooting a free kick underneath a jumping wall in the 15th minute.But possibly his moment of the match came in the 66th when he found space to thread a perfect angled through-ball to Ilkay Gundogan, who ran into the area to meet the pass with a first-time low finish that outfoxed goalkeeper Artur Boruc.No wonder De Bruyne was afforded a standing ovation by City fans when he was substituted late on.He is a special, outstanding player, Guardiola said. He makes everything. Without the ball he is the first fighter, and with the ball he is clear -- he sees absolutely everything.Every time, he makes the right decision. That is why he is a player on another level. We are lucky to have him and I hope he can enjoy playing his amazing football with us.In between those moments of class from De Bruyne, young forwards Kelechi Iheanacho and Raheem Sterling set each other up for goals on the counterattack as Bournemouth was continually picked off. But De Bruyne played his part.The 19-year-old Iheanacho, filling in for the suspended Sergio Aguero, notched his third goal in as many games this week by adjusting his feet and tapping into an empty net in the 25th after Sterling got in behind Bournemouths defense from De Bruynes pass before squaring the ball across the face of the six-yard box.Iheanacho returned the favor to Sterling after halftime -- and again the catalyst for the flowing move was De Bruyne, who slipped another pass through to the striker. Instead of shooting, Iheanacho cut the ball back for Sterling to bundle home his finish.Aguero will be back for Citys next league game but Nolito faces three matches out after his 86th-minute red card for motioning a head-butt at Adam Smith as they squared up and went forehead to forehead. The incident was sparked by Smith running into Nolito off the ball.Guardiola said he had no issues with the red card.City has 15 goals in five league games so far, and started a second successive league campaign with five wins in a row. This was also the first clean sheet in the league under Guardiola.Citys previous best start to a season was seven straight wins in 1897.Numbers are numbers and records will be beaten, said Guardiola, who took charge over the summer. Whats important is we won a game just three days after a Champions League game, which is always tough.In a little dig at Man United, Guardiola added: Bournemouth were until now the best team with the ball (City has faced) -- the other teams have played long balls. http://www.broncosrookiestore.com/Customized/ ;. President of baseball operations Larry Beinfest was fired Friday after 12 years with the Marlins. The move came as the team neared the end of its third consecutive last-place season in the NL East. http://www.broncosrookiestore.com/Broncos-Donald-Stephenson-Jersey/ ;. "Hes going to have hip surgery on Jan. 7, and hell be expected to rehabilitate for four to six months beyond that," Canucks general manager Mike Gillis said Friday in an interview. http://www.broncosrookiestore.com/Broncos-Aqib-Talib-Jersey/ ;. -- Adam Snyder returned to the San Francisco 49ers this season because the offensive lineman thought it was his best opportunity to win a championship.Sky Sports Barrie McDermott, Terry OConnor and Phil Clarke react to the news that Leeds have placed Zak Hardaker on the transfer list. The England international was a key player for Brian McDermotts side in their treble-winning 2015 season, but the Rhinos have agreed to sell him after he expressed his desire to play in the NRL.Leeds have secured just three victories this season and are currently rooted to the bottom of the Super League table after 17 rounds, their most recent defeat coming at the hands of the Catalans Dragons on Friday evening. Hardaker on transfer list Leeds Rhinos put Zak Hardaker on transfer list Former Leeds stalwart and Sky Sports pundit McDermott admitted that he was not shocked to learn of the announcement.In some ways, its not surprising, said McDermott. The former Man of Steel was part of a treble-winning 2015, but equally part of the rock-bottom Rhinos of 2016.Rugby league players have short careers, which is probably why Zak Hardaker wants a new challenge. Zak Hardaker tasted Challenge Cup victory with the Rhinos in both 2014 and 2015 My instinct is he wants to play in the NRL, like many others. Like several Rhinos players, he has been way off his usual standards this year, and doesnt look like hes enjoying this particular challenge, so if thats how he feels, he must leave.Despite their current standing in the table and their hopes of a top-eight finish and the opportunity to regain the famous treble they secured last season all but over, McDermott is positive the club he represented between 1995 and 2005 can bounce back.Leeds will find a replacement Im certain, he added. Truthfully, 2016 will probably live as long as 2015 in the memory bank of Rhinos fans, and the rebuilding process will be a fascinating one.Change is inevitable. Some players will move on and others will move in. The 24-year-old was named 2015 man of steel following his performances for the Rhinos, which also saw him play five times for England To lose a player with such quality is a shame but thats the business aspect of rugby league.OConnor says the loss of such a big talent will be felt by the Rhinos, but believes they will come back stronger, and that the pressure on Hardaker may have contributed to his loss of form.Its tough for young players who win Man of Steel because there is always more pressure on them the following season, said the Wigan legend. Its new territory, whereas a senior player may have a bit more experience under the belt to deal with it.Perhaps Hardaker wants a new challenge, or maybe he wants to get away from that expectation.Either way, he will be a loss to Leeds, and I have no doubt that he will dazzle wwhichever crowd he ends up playing in front of, because he is a brilliant talent. http://www.broncosrookiestore.com/Broncos-Jake-Butt-Jersey/. With that said, no player is irreplaceable so I can see Leeds bouncing back comfortably from this. Highlights from Headingley Carnegie as Leeds Rhinos faced Catalans Dragons in the First Utility Super League. Each time a big talent leaves, there is this feeling that he cant be replaced, but the truth is there are plenty of fresh, exciting players coming through each season, and they will take the chance to play for a club like Leeds in a heartbeat.No player is bigger than the club, and although I think it will take the Rhinos a bit longer to rebuild than initially thought, they will be back as a force within the next three to four years.Fellow Sky Sports pundit Clarke admitted his shock at Leeds decision to part ways with one of their most promising young players.In his Sky Sports column on Saturday, Clarke said: I never thought that I would see the day when Leeds allow one of their best players to leave mid-season.OK, I know he has not been as impressive this season as he was in the last, but as I mentioned earlier this week, Leeds need to buy some players, not sell them, if they want to get out of their current predicament. Two sides to every story Two sides to every story says Phil Clarke, as Leeds place Hardaker on transfer list The 24-year-old was voted Man of Steel last season, the first time that Leeds have had a player to win that title since Iestyn Harris back in 1998. Why would the Rhinos let him leave? And particularly in circumstances like this?My experience of following the game tells me that when a team loses on a regular basis, someone gets blamed. It might not always be that persons fault, but the club feel the need to change something, and it looks like in this case, it will be Hardaker at Leeds.
