Kevin De Bruyne was hailed by Micah Richards as one of the Premier League's best ever midfielders following his sublime performance in Manchester City's 3-1 victory at home to Chelsea.
With City short of attacking options, De Bruyne was deployed up front and he relished his new role as he scored and also provided an assist for Phil Foden.
The victory sent City up to fifth in the Premier League, and, with a player of De Bryune's calibre at their disposal, Pep Guardiola's side will be confident that they can close the gap further on the teams above them.
