'Kevin De Bruyne is one of the best players in the world': Gabriel Jesus raves about Manchester City talisman's hand in Stoke thrashing

Gabriel Jesus joined the plaudits for Kevin De Bruyne after Manchester City swept Stoke aside with ease on Saturday.

The in-form De Bruyne was once again at his scintillating best as City moved clear of rivals Manchester United at the top of the Premier League with a 7-2 victory at the Etihad Stadium.

The Belgian did not get on the scoresheet himself but he marked his 100th appearance for the club with a dynamic display that saw him set up four goals.

Kevin De Bruyne continued to lead Pep Guardiola's charge to Premier League glory

His vision opened Stoke the defence for early strikes from Jesus and Raheem Sterling before perfectly-weighted passes played in Jesus for a second and Leroy Sane later in the game.
