Man City's 2-goal De Bruyne: We played well for victory at Brighton

Manchester City midfielder Kevin de Bruyne was happy with their 4-0 win at Brighton on Thursday.

De Bruyne scored twice on the night.

He said: "It was a good game. I think we played really good in the first half and every game is a lot of pressure. All we can do is prepare as we did today and win the game that is in front of us."

On his header, he stated: "It doesn't happen too much. Kyle [Walker] gave a good cross and I think the only way I could reach it is by jumping to it. I will take it but it's not something I am good at!"

On fellow goalscorer Phil Foden, De Bruyne added: "I think he will end up centrally. I saw Phil from the beginning and I think it takes a while to get used to a Pep team.

"I think now he is trusted to play centrally and Phil does what he does for six or seven years already. He has been doing this for years, has helped us win titles and he has gone up another level."
