Pep Guardiola and Antonio Conte both lauded Kevin De Bruyne as the Belgian produced another masterful performance and scored the winning goal to keep Manchester City top of the Premier League.
On his return to Stamford Bridge, where he was deemed surplus to requirements by Jose Mourinho back in 2012, De Bruyne showed his former club exactly what they were missing.
He netted a 67th minute strike and produced another outstanding performance to further his claim to be the Premier League's most influential player.
And even beaten managed Conte was ready to praise the former Chelsea man.
