Kevin de Bruyne sent a ‘crazy’ message to the Premier League on a breathtaking comeback from five months injured as Oscar Bobb’s last-gasp winner sent Manchester City second.

Bobb stepped off the bench to nick his first league goal and City’s third of a pulsating 3-2 victory over Newcastle United at St James’ Park.

But the night belonged to De Bruyne, whose 21-minute cameo – equalising and then assisting Bobb’s winner – showed exactly what Pep Guardiola has been missing all season.

‘I missed this,’ De Bruyne said.
