Newcastle 2-3 Manchester City: Kevin de Bruyne says 'I missed this' after comeback

Manchester City midfielder Kevin de Bruyne says he has missed playing football and influencing games while he has been out with a hamstring injury.

The Belgian came off the bench at Newcastle and equalised for the Blues before an inch-perfect pass set up Oscar Bobb's stoppage-time winner.

De Bruyne, 32, was playing in the league for the first time since the opening day of the season on 11 August.
