Pep Guardiola watched Kevin de Bruyne sink Brighton with a stunning strike - and then insisted that the midfield maestro needs to improve.
Manchester City closed the gap on Arsenal at the top of the Premier League with a 3-1 victory over the Seagulls, who trailed at the half-time interval courtesy of a brace from the irrepressible Erling Haaland. Leandro Trossard fired back for the visitors, but De Bruyne's moment of magic was enough to put the game beyond Brighton.
Although De Bruyne had already clocked up a staggering 11 assists prior to Saturday's match, the 31-year-old had just one league goal to his name. And Guardiola is adamant that De Bruyne is still not firing on all cyclinders.
