Mahrez struck with a 39th minute penalty to score for the seventh successive game after Raheem Sterling had been brought down to send Pep Guardiola’s side in at the break holding the advantage.
And De Bruyne then sealed the deal with fine 69th minute effort from another Bees error to secure our 19th league win of the season and move us 12 points clear at the top of the table.
It was a vital victory on the way to Pep Guardiola‘s fourth Premier League title in just his sixth season at the Club.
