De Bruyne sees absolutely everything - Guardiola

Pep Guardiola says Manchester City are lucky to have a player who "sees absolutely everything" in Kevin De Bruyne.

Kevin De Bruyne has earned high praise from manager Pep Guardiola after leading Manchester City to an emphatic 4-0 win over Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday.

De Bruyne opened the scoring and set up Ilkay Gundogan for his side's fourth goal at the Etihad Stadium, as in-form City made a statement of intent to their title rivals early in Guardiola's tenure.

Central to the impressive performance was the 25-year-old Belgium international, signed by City from Wolfsburg for big money in August 2015, having been deemed surplus to requirements by Guardiola's fierce rival Jose Mourinho at Chelsea earlier in his career.
