Manchester City ace Kevin de Bruyne was delighted with their 1-0 win at Leicester City.

De Bruyne's stunning second-half free-kick was enough to earn the win and send City to top of Premier League.

The midfielder said: "We made it difficult for ourselves, we were a bit tired. They were very negative for 70 minutes but then their changes made it a different game. We didn't keep the ball in their half but we still could have scored a second.

"The free-kick goes perfectly, luckily it's 1-0. Ederson has been great, sometimes we only talk about his distribution but he's a great keeper and he proves it every week.

"We have proved we can win with or without Erling Haaland."
