Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola lavished praise on Kevin De Bruyne.

The Belgian midfielder was at his very best against Brighton in the Premier League on Wednesday.

A day after Liverpool beat Manchester United to go top, City responded with a 3-0 home win to go back to the summit of the Premier League with six games to go.

Asked about De Bruyne post-game, Guardiola sang his praises, telling BBC MOTD: "What a signing. The club sign him before I come here so a big congratulations to the club.

"A special player and human being. When fit and happy mentally like all of us and is fit to show his potential he is unstoppable in that position, in transition especially. He is playing the last part of this season amazingly."
