Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne says Tuesday's 7-0 win over Leeds United was a "booster" for the whole club.

De Bruyne scored twice as City went four points clear on top of the Premier League table, although rivals Liverpool and Chelsea will play on Wednesday.

He told BT Sport: "A lot has happened this year, a little bit out of out of my control. The only thing I could do is work hard and come back as quick as possible. It's unfortunate with everything that has happened and at the time I was coming back I got Covid. It happened and now we are working hard to come back to a good level.

"I think we played incredibly well, especially against the way they pressed. We found the right times to attack them. When were were 3-0 or 4-0 up it gets tough for them and they tried to keep it tight in the second half, but we had a lot of chances to score more.

"It's good for everybody, a lot of people who maybe didn't play a lot played today and chipped in. For the whole team it is a booster."
