'Popping up when it matters' - Man City fans agree over Kevin de Bruyne after Chelsea winner

Manchester City supporters continue to laud Kevin de Bruyne after the Belgian playmaker hit a stunning winner against Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium.

Captaining the team after Ruben Dias was named on the bench, De Bruyne settled the scores with a superb curler from the edge of the area 20 minutes from time.

Having coasted to a third title in four seasons, City are in pole position to make that four from five after moving 13 points clear of Chelsea at the Premier League summit - although Liverpool can close that gap to eight points if they win both of their games in hand.

As things stand, though, Pep Guardiola and his star-studded team have emerged as heavy, heavy favourites and it was that man De Bruyne who guided them to a 12th straight victory.

Here are a selection of comments made by City supporters on social media platform Twitter;

@checkjfooty said: "KDB loves scoring against his former team. A beautiful curler."

@wavycreations posted: "Kevin de Bruyne is unreal. Best midfielder of this generation."

@louiswrittle added: "Kevin de Bruyne popping up when it matters yet again."
