De Bruyne scored two wondrous efforts – one in each half – to bring up 100 City goals for him.
It was a celebratory finish to the game at Selhurst Park as we earned a hugely welcome three points.
But it started far less positively as the hosts opened the scoring in front of an excited, ebullient crowd, Jean-Philippe Mateta finishing superbly.
